One of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon Americans at the time of its telling and which is still trumpeted to this very day is the notion that the U.S. Constitution contains within its framework mechanisms which limit its power. The “separation of powers,” where power is distributed among the three branches – legislative, executive, judicial – is supposedly the primary check on the federal government’s aggrandizement.
This sacred held tenet of American political history has once again been disproved.

While I am in general agreement that today's federal government is no longer under the control of We The People, I think the situation has undergone a sea change since the murder of John Kennedy. Until then we tried to live up to our Constitution, but after his death things went south in a hurry.
Maybe that was the whole point of his killing. There are no checks and balances when they can be overridden by an assassin's bullets.
