And, of course, the Congress seems to believe that if it has a majority vote in the Congress, there is no constitutional impediment to taking over the entire health care system; just pretty much anything.  In fact, in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton's solicitor general was asked, "Can you come up with one area of American life that you believe the federal government would have absolutely no constitutional authority to intervene," he just stood there stupefied and he had absolutely no answer.

So it seems like it's really been a kind of collusion of the three branches, which is what Jefferson feared.  Thomas Jefferson was not one of these fans — or I would say Jefferson was of the belief that mere division of power into three branches doesn't guarantee a thing.  What does that guarantee?  It just means that they'll just have to work together to go after the liberties of the people.  Well, big deal.  That's exactly what they would do and that's what they have done.
