It depends on the specific power you're discussing. Executive state power is supposed to be used to enforce laws on the books, regardless of whether the current political party agrees with them. If there's disagreement, there's a legislative process to follow. Abusing executive power to selectively enforce, or harass, is obviously deeply problematic in a liberal society. Legislative state power is where your points hit home. Absolutely, by all means, enact the laws that you're able to based upon the elected legislation. As long as it squares with the state and federal constitution, you're golden. Judicial powers bent to political purposes are an absolute horror and should be rooted out as quickly as possible.
