The Congressional "checks" on the Executive and the Judiciary don't work when members of that body refuse to do their duty.
Failed to impeach Reagan for Iran-Contra
Before the investigation even began, our so-called "leaders" in the Democratic Party decided that no amount of Presidential negligence or nonfeasance, would justify a impeachment, which they viewed as "dangerous" for the nation.
The Real Danger was created by their failure to serve as a check on an Executive that was either a participant in the criminal conspiracy, or willfully blind to the evidence of the conspiracy that was laid before him.
Failed to reject the unlawful Florida electors on January 6, 2001, and thereby "check" the treasonous Bush v. Gore decision. The only thing the five black robed criminals did with Bush v. Gore was render the Florida election incomplete, and therefore unlawful. Congress had a duty to object to, and ultimately reject, those unlawful electors.
Failed to reject the unlawful Ohio electors on January 6, 2005.
Failed to impeach Bush-Cheney for committing war crimes in plain sight
I can't imagine a higher high crime than government sanctioned torture.

When our government officials torture in our name, we become a war criminal nation. Our very identity is destroyed. Congress allowed this.
And by their failure to even attempt to do their duty (can't win, so don't fight) the Congressional Democrats are as culpable as the treasonous court, war criminal executive, and Republican accessories after the fact in Congress.
If, and only if, our so-called leaders in the Democratic Party start doing their duty, we'll be alright. If not...
