I'd even feel that way if the executive branch was representing my own personal interests (low taxes, limited government, etc.). I just think you run into too many issues the closer you get to an all-powerful executive.

True and quite honestly, I felt that way with the last admin especially with the wiretapping and Gitmo that were were on our way to losing some rights because the admin just stepped over our rights...some consolidation and more accountability is needed yes, but not at the expense of giving one branch too much power.

Hey...care to make a new thread of this or are u good right here?
