Is One Branch of Government Quietly Gaining Too Much Power and What Can We Do to Stop It ?
This article dives into the subtle shift in power within the U.S. government, questioning whether one branch is gaining too much influence and what citizens can do to restore balance. It emphasizes the importance of the Constitution, the role of checks and balances, and why it’s critical for all branches to act within their designated powers. It’s a call to action for all Americans to stay informed, hold leaders accountable, and ensure that liberty remains protected.
This article explores the subtle and dangerous rise in power within a single branch of government—not as an attack on any one leader or party, but as a warning to all Americans. While it’s often assumed that the Executive is the branch to watch, the real concern right now may be the Judicial branch. Federal district judges are increasingly stepping beyond their Constitutional role, venturing into policymaking—an overreach that threatens the balance our Republic was built on. This piece breaks down the true purpose of each branch, emphasizes why balance matters, and calls on citizens to act before it’s too late.

The Silent Shift in Power: Is One Branch of Government Overstepping?
The Three-Legged Stool
Imagine a simple three-legged stool. One leg represents Congress. Another, the President. The third, the courts. Now imagine one leg growing longer—slowly, subtly, maybe even unnoticed. The stool tips. Balance is lost. That’s the exact danger our Constitutional Republic faces when one branch of government quietly gains more power than the others.
This isn’t about panic—it’s about principle. It’s about understanding why our system of government was designed the way it was and how easily it can be undermined if we forget that balance matters more than power.
The Importance of Checks and Balances
Here at #GoRight with Peter Boykin we don’t just report the news—we break down the facts with a Constitutionalist voice. Yes, we lean Right. Yes, we defend conservative values. But above all, we defend the truth and the Constitution, even when it’s uncomfortable.
This article isn’t about blaming one President, one party, or one policy. It’s about a growing concern: When one branch of government begins acting without restraint, our entire system of liberty is at risk.
Our Founding Fathers saw this danger coming. That’s why they built a system that divides power deliberately.
The Three Branches and Their Powers:
The Legislative Branch – The People’s Voice
Under Article I of the Constitution, Congress is empowered to make laws, declare war, levy taxes, and hold the purse strings of our nation. They are our representatives—chosen by the people—to shape our national direction. When Congress abdicates its responsibility, the balance of power weakens.
The Legislative Branch: When Inaction Becomes Complicity
Congress was designed to be the most accountable branch—closest to the people, most responsive to our will. But accountability means nothing without action. When legislators refuse to legislate, they don’t just stall the system—they weaken it.
In recent years, Congress has repeatedly failed to take on difficult issues, opting instead to punt responsibility to executive agencies, the courts, or the next session. Whether driven by partisanship, fear of backlash, or the endless pursuit of reelection, this abdication of duty has real consequences.
When lawmakers allow unelected bureaucrats or judges to fill the void, they surrender the authority the Constitution entrusted to them—and by extension, us. The power of the purse, the power to declare war, the responsibility to legislate—these aren’t symbolic. They’re central to the balance of power.
A passive Congress is just as dangerous as an overreaching president or activist judge. Because silence and inaction can tip the scales just as surely as bold overreach.
The Executive Branch – Enforcing the Law
The President, defined under Article II, carries out the laws of the land. The executive also commands our military and conducts foreign policy. These are essential roles, but they require accountability, especially when executive orders begin to replace proper legislation.
The Executive Branch: When Enforcement Becomes Legislation
The President’s role is to enforce the laws passed by Congress—not to create them. Yet, in recent years, we’ve seen a troubling trend: executive orders being used not just to implement law, but to bypass the legislative process altogether.
This isn’t unique to one administration—it’s a pattern that spans both parties. When Congress gridlocks, presidents too often take matters into their own hands. But expediency should never come at the cost of constitutional limits.
Executive power is immense. It commands the military, directs national policy, and holds the face of American leadership. That’s why restraint is essential. When executive orders replace real legislation, it not only marginalizes Congress—it sets a precedent for unchecked power. That may seem efficient in the short term, but it’s dangerous in the long term, especially if that power ends up in hands we don’t trust.
Presidents should lead, not rule. And when that line is crossed, it’s up to the people and their representatives to push back.
The Judicial Branch – Protecting the Constitution
Article III outlines the role of the courts, especially the Supreme Court, in interpreting laws and safeguarding our freedoms. Judges aren’t elected, and that’s intentional—to allow impartial, non-political decisions based on the law, not public opinion.
The Shift We’re Seeing Now: A Closer Look at the Judicial Branch
While many often point fingers at the Executive Branch for government overreach, the current shift in power may be coming from a different direction—one that’s less obvious, but just as dangerous: the Judicial Branch.
Let’s be clear—this article is not about blaming Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or any particular administration. It’s about defending our Constitutional system from any form of imbalance, regardless of the political party or public figure involved. And right now, we’re seeing federal district judges stepping into roles they were never meant to fill.
Judges are not elected to create policy. Their job, as outlined in Article III of the Constitution, is to interpret existing law and protect the Constitution—not to impose personal ideology or obstruct legislative or executive action based on political leanings. When courts begin to challenge policy decisions rooted in established law, they’re no longer acting as neutral arbiters—they’re becoming political actors. That’s rogue behavior, and it threatens the delicate system of checks and balances that protects our liberty.
The danger isn’t about which branch is overstepping—it’s that any branch can, and will, if not held accountable. That’s why vigilance is essential. Because today it might be the judiciary—tomorrow, it could be another.
Why Balance Is More Than Just a Buzzword
This design is brilliant—but only if we respect it. James Madison, one of the chief architects of the Constitution, warned us:
“Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.”
He knew that human nature craves power, and only a structure of equal branches, checking each other, could prevent tyranny.
This isn’t some old-fashioned idea. It’s more relevant now than ever. Because when one branch oversteps—even with good intentions—it creates a precedent that others will follow. Whether it’s bypassing Congress with executive orders, ignoring court rulings, or weaponizing agencies, the danger is not who does it—it’s that it’s being done at all.
The Bigger Picture: It’s Not About the Right or Trump. It’s Not About the Left or Biden. It’s About the System.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t an attack on Donald Trump, or Joe Biden, or any individual president. It’s a warning to all of us—Republican, Democrat, Independent—that no matter how much we like or trust a leader, the system must come first.
Because today, it might be a president you agree with stretching the rules. But tomorrow? It could be someone with radically different values doing the same thing—and worse.
If we don’t demand that power remains in balance, we’re surrendering more than we realize.
What Can We Do About It?
Here’s the part where “We The People” come in. This isn’t just a government problem—it’s a civic responsibility.
We must:
– Educate ourselves on how government is supposed to work.
– Hold Congress accountable when they fail to act or allow executive overreach.
– Support an independent judiciary that follows the Constitution, not public pressure.
– Elect leaders who respect the limits of their power.
– Speak up when we see imbalance—not just when it’s politically convenient.
This isn’t about Left vs. Right. It’s about Right vs. Wrong.
Why We Cover These Stories at Go Right News
Folks, before we wrap up, I want to speak to you heart-to-heart—not just as a political voice, but as a citizen of this great Constitutional Republic.
Here at #GoRight, we may lean politically to the Right—and proudly so—but our mission goes far beyond partisanship. We don’t do what we do to cheer for a party like it’s a sports team. We cover the stories that matter, even when others don’t want to touch them—because the truth matters more than the narrative.
Our responsibility, as we see it, isn’t just to echo headlines or chase ratings. It’s to educate, to inform, and to engage. We believe a well-informed people is the strongest defense against tyranny.
That’s why we dig deep. We look at the Constitution. We revisit the principles our nation was built upon. And we challenge every one of you—left, right, or independent—to think critically, speak freely, and stand boldly.
We aren’t here to tell you what to believe. We’re here to present what the mainstream media ignores, to ask the hard questions, and to call for accountability from every corner of power—not just the ones that oppose us.
So yes, we Go Right—but not out of blind loyalty. We Go Right because we believe in liberty, in limited government, in the rule of law, and in the power of the people. And every story we cover, every topic we explore, is aimed at protecting those values.
Our role is to educate, to shine light on the news through the lens of our Constitution, our founding principles, and our shared American values.
We don’t tell you what to think. We give you the tools to think deeper.
We believe in limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility—and most importantly, truth.
That’s why we do what we do. Because the Constitution matters. Because liberty matters. Because you matter.
