When I posted “Does U.S. Senate follow advice it honors?” I didn’t explicitly connect Washington’s warning about one department (branch) of the government encroaching on another: "The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.”
Trump seems to already have a lock-step Congress and will soon have a lock-step Supreme Court. If we are lucky, Neil Gorsuch will be another Earl Warren!
