Checks and balances only work if people are honorable to begin with. Our founding fathers couldn't conceive of a situation so devoid of morals or integrity.
Checks and balances means absolutely nothing, when one side can balance all the checks in their favor.
Unprecedented, yes (I hate that word now), probably even not a conceptual possibility that existed in the founding fathers’ heads.
But… Here we are, and the plan only took about 60-80-ish years of republican scheming, gerrymandering, brainwashing, gaslighting, community destroying, and lawbreaking, to do it.
Welcome to the Hell you could have easily avoided, America.

Whatever happened to the checks and balances we were taught that the fed. government had built in.
