	Chief Justice Rehnquist Remains Conservative And Challenges Radical Republican Legislation
		Most Americans have studied the nation’s political structure in grade school and probably remember clearly that the government is comprised of three distinct and separate pieces, or branches: Executive, Legislative and Judiciary.

		These New Republicans seem to have captured the GOP and are leading it far away from its standards and traditions; the New Republicans clearly favor massive federal spending, bigger and far more intrusive government, and the consolidation of power, particularly executive authority.
