Monday, June 16, 2003 Office-holders should "confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism."
-- George Washington, Farewell Address [September 19, 1796]
