Independence Day

The greatest gift the colonists earned by defeating King George of England was Independence.
But, there is no Independence if you simple replace one king with another.
What checks and balances are there, if a king/president simply uses his power of authority to do anything they want? “Official” power isn’t even defined – anywhere.
It is now up to the judicial system to decide what is “official” and what isn’t.
The SCOTUS has become too political.
The intent when creating that branch of government was to interpret the laws, not create them, not base opinions on conservative or liberal philosophy – but instead on unprejudiced opinion of the “law”. I believe they failed to do so, for political reasons.
Perhaps, it is time for change. Perhaps it’s time for a Constitutional Convention.
Things need to change.
We don’t need a king.
