Well, there's still the filibuster, which is a brake. But I agree that one party rule is bad.

People complain when power is shared between the parties, because it results in gridlock. The alternative is a monopoly on power, hubris, bad government, and voting the bums out. Rinse repeat.

Personally, as a Dem., my ideal would be for a Dem Pres, a Dem majority in the House, and a Repub. majority in the senate. With a Supreme Court full of libertarian leaning moderates who routinely cross back and forth over traditional party lines as they rule.

The D's are VERY close to gaining the 60 necessary to overcome a filibuster.
