Inverness resident Sandy Engelman expressed concern over the concentration of power in one branch of the US government, echoing sentiments from a letter by Fred Barnes. Engelman’s comments come as the current administration faces scrutiny for its actions, including curtailing freedom of speech and assembly, degrading freedom of the press, and potentially interfering with elections.
Engelman stated that the administration’s actions, such as taking election data from Fulton County, Georgia, raise questions about the protection of personal information and the potential for abuse of power. She emphasized that the separation of powers is a cornerstone of the US Constitution and that too much power in one branch is a threat to individual rights and freedoms.
Engelman called on citizens to pray for the country and to contact their elected officials to express their concerns about the administration’s actions. She urged officials to uphold their oath to protect the Constitution and to ensure that the separation of powers is maintained.
The concerns expressed by Engelman and Barnes reflect a broader debate about the balance of power in the US government and the potential for abuse of authority. As the administration continues to take actions that spark controversy, citizens and lawmakers alike are grappling with the implications for individual rights and the health of democracy.
