Russia's democratic system seems ordtak

Russia's democratic system seems not yet to have found the essential balance among the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, ... Political power is not yet fully tethered to law.

Colin Powell (1937-)

Colin Powell

There's three branches of government, the executive, the legislative, the judicial. In Pittsburgh, that court was all three.

The framers of our Constitution came up with two major contributions to the art of government. The first was the idea of an executive not dependent on the political support of the legislature. The second was the idea of the judiciary independent of the executive and legislative branches.

William H. Rehnquist (1924-)

Governor Bush said that under our system of government the legislative branch passes the laws, the executive branch administers the law. Unfortunately, he left out one important branch of our government, the judicial branch, which has the responsibility of interpreting our laws and reconciling conflicts between statutes.

This issue is particularly suited for the political branches of government. This is an issue of tremendous international political importance. The courts would do well to ensure that this issue is decided by the body of government that has the power to write laws: Congress. Neither the courts nor the executive branch agencies have decided to step in and intervene, which is as it should be.

His belief in the Founding Fathers' vision of judicial restraint, federalism, and deference to the legislative and executive branches ... has enjoyed a tremendous renaissance in his time. He is truly the godfather of the constitutionalist movement in American law.

EXECUTIVE, n. An officer of the Government, whose duty it is to enforce the wishes of the legislative power until such time as the judicial department shall be pleased to pronounce them invalid and of no effect. Following is an extract from an old book entitled, _The Lunarian Astonished_ --Pfeiffer & Co., Boston, 1803:

LUNARIAN: Then when your Congress has passed a law it goes directly to the Supreme Court in order that it may at once be known whether it is constitutional? TERRESTRIAN: O no; it does not require the approval of the Supreme Court until having perhaps been enforced for many years somebody objects to its operation against himself --I mean his client. The President, if he approves it, begins to execute it at once. LUNARIAN: Ah, the executive power is a part of the legislative. Do your policemen also have to approve the local ordinances that they enforce? TERRESTRIAN: Not yet --at least not in their character of constables. Generally speaking, though, all laws require the approval of those whom they are intended to restrain. LUNARIAN: I see. The death warrant is not valid until signed by the murderer. TERRESTRIAN: My friend, you put it too strongly; we are not so consistent. LUNARIAN: But this system of maintaining an expensive judicial machinery to pass upon the validity of laws only after they have long been executed, and then only when brought before the court by some private person --does it not cause great confusion? TERRESTRIAN: It does. LUNARIAN: Why then should not your laws, previously to being executed, be validated, not by the signature of your President, but by that of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? TERRESTRIAN: There is no precedent for any such course. LUNARIAN: Precedent. What is that? TERRESTRIAN: It has been defined by five hundred lawyers in three volumes each. So how can any one know?

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

Our three branches of government have become like an unstable chair, a three-legged chair. The founders could not have envisioned how much money and special interests would corrupt the political process. Giving us Americans legislative power will put forth the fourth leg of our stool and make it stable.

Among the world's leading hackers is Pex Mahoney Tufvesson. From a democratic point of view, nothing prevents Gabonese voters from voting for or against a majority that exercises executive or legislative power.

India welcomes his intention to transfer all executive power of the state to a government constituted by the alliance of the seven political parties, which has been in the forefront of the movement by the people of Nepal for the restoration of multi-party democracy and their democratic freedoms.

Democracy is less a system of government than it is a system to keep government limited, unintrusive; a system of constraints on power to keep politics and government secondary to the important things in life, the true sources of value found only in

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

The real question in this case ... is who makes the threshold determination of using a civilian or military legal system. It's a classic case of executive and congressional power versus judicial power.

public trust is essential to an effective judicial system and one judge's conduct may have a significant impact upon the public's perception of the entire judicial system ...

George Robertson

Joe Lanier adds considerable legislative expertise and political savvy to an already formidable team of public policy lawyers with substantial Legislative and Executive Branch experience on both of sides of the political aisle, within both houses of Congress, and from the Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush Administrations.

It caused consternation (among the judges) that the City Council was looking at it, and they want a separation of powers, ... They're the judicial branch, and they don't seem to think the executive branch or the legislative branch of city government should be looking at them.
