EXACTLY my point.
And for the record, I have yet to see anybody show an example of this happening with the democrats in power. Plenty of allegations against the democrats trying to excuse the republicans by implying that the democrats are guilty of it too, but no explicit naming of an issue that the democrats allowed violation of checks and balances.
