There is no place for trust when it comes to checks and balances.
"Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end...liberty is the only object which benefits all alike, and provokes no sincere opposition...The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to to govern. Every class is unfit to govern...Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." -- Lord Acton
Even if it had a place in the political system, this current cabal hasn't earned enough trust to collect my newspaper while I'm away.
