Well, in all the decades the other party controlled both houses, the  white 
house, and was placing pro-Democrat justices on the Supreme court, the  
country 
survived and we didn't have a King. I think if our system  is to survive, we 
have to have swings in the other direction occasionally  for balance if 
nothing more. The president and members of the two houses  were chosen by a 
majority 
of Americans to their respective offices,  and should be allowed to do their 
jobs. If they go to far, they will  lose their offices and the other party 
will have control again. 
 
We have neither a democracy, nor a republic, but rather a hybrid  system of 
our own, we cannot try to squeeze ourselves into either of  those definitions 
without giving up what makes this the United  States.
