Alexis de Tocqueville pretty much predicted this 200 years ago when he did his study on democracy in the US. He pointed out that there was nothing in place to actually enforce the separation of powers and it would take only one despot to throw the whole thing in the trash. The only thing that would surprise him today is how long it took for America to reach this point.
