Separation of powers?! But that would keep government officials from making any law they want!
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) called the Founding Fathers “maniacal” for creating this principle.
Her comments even startled the MSNBC hosts. A brave few ventured onto Twitter to offer some checks and balances to her claim.
Sen. McCaskill says our founding fathers were a bit maniacal. I think they would say the same about us today.#Truth pic.twitter.com/wV1LVnxsdQ

Perhaps McCaskill thought elective despotism was the government they fought for. Legal limits don’t seem to be a concern of the Democrats these days.
