I'm going to be EXTREMELY CHARITABLE and suggest that your opinion of the branches "being taken over" by the right wing is a statement which only really extends to the scope of their surveillance and antiterror operations, and that you are merely not thinking of certain things that do not affect you as a member of the left wing, like: * IRS targeting of section-504 nonprofits * the National Labor Relations Board's apparent failure to comply with rulings suggesting that their recess appointments were irregular and that they do not legally have a quorum * the Department of Health and Human Services and its campaign to make Catholic institutions pay for birth control and abortions * irregularities in the bankruptcy process around the auto bailouts * et cetera. Given that limitation, I believe it is possible for your argument to be regarded as meaningful. :)
