In a 'Letter to the Editor' (LTE) in the SI Advance a writer, in quite possibly the most eloquent LTE expounds on issues of checks and balances and the need to demand more out of our elected officials;

Calling attention to the constitutional crisis: How long has the Bush administration lied to people, Congress and to their death, soldiers, about matters of life and national security? How long has Congress and the Judiciary caved in to Executive dictate, abandoning responsibilities to the checks and balances that are vital to our democracy?

Please go read the whole piece. It is a must.
