Ward letter: Branches of government

Our nation was created over 250 years ago with three branches of government — Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The Executive Branch has been taken over by a person who hasn’t surrounded himself with more intelligent people, and he is vindictive and a bully here as well as abroad. The Legislative Branch is too afraid to stand up to him for fear of losing their jobs. We are left with the Judicial Branch, who now must take up the sword to defend our liberties. If you voted for Trump, you voted for an individual whom you thought would lift you up, by your mantle. Are you sure now?

Gail Ward, Kuna
