In this instance please show me how the separation of powers was violated?

The police presented evidence and received a warrant to search. Hmmm now is that what is suppose to happen according to the Constitution. No where does the Constitution say a member of the Congress should be exempt from the due process clause.

THis is not the administration stepping on its toes, but rather proof quite positive of Congress trying to set itself above the laws of the land.

The executive branch enforced the very laws that the legislative branch enacted. They presented evidence to an independent third party, the judiciary and received a warrant based upon reasonable suspicion to search for evidence in a criminal investigation.

Exactly what the Constitution requires them to do. So once again, what is the problem????? Other than COngress trying to put itself above the laws.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
