Letter to the editor:

Checks and balances needed

Our forefathers would be appalled with our politicized Supreme Court and the loss of checks and balances as the court, in Republican guise, encamps with the executive branch.

The now not-so-supreme court, with its potential decades-long conservative 5-4 choke hold on the majority, will team with Republicans to rule this so-called democracy without the bother of checks and balances ­­­— that is, unless the electorate rises up in righteous anger and strikes them down.

Vote for balance and democracy.
