The idea of separation of power has, I believe, a flaw. Instead of considering the branches co-equal, it should be considered that the primary job of both the Legislative and Judicial is to limit the power of the Executive.
It should be obvious, but there was never any danger of the Judicial or Legislative to have too much power for itself.
At the moment, the Supreme Court/Judiciary is being usurped by by the use of secret FISA court as a sort of rival supreme court. The Legislature is essentially viewed with contempt and lied to with impunity by by the executive(Clapper, Alexander, etc.)
