"In any country, if you don’t have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development"
So when our President circumvents the judicial system and gets all pissy when Congress does not comply with his every whim he is 'defending democracy' but when Putin consolidates power by weakening their legislature and judiciary, he's being 'undemocratic'??
Again, I have to reiterate: We have three (mostly) equal branches of government, as laid out in the Constitution. Not one that gets to bully the other two around.
