SUPREME COURT: JUSTICE SCALIA DEATH AND SCOTUS CHANGES

Whether it's working well is subjective.  Regardless, if you believe in democracy, it's definitely logical.  

The United States can (and has in the past) enjoy a strong economy without the party in power intentionally seeking to make the opposition party's "heads explode" by mocking their principles and endangering their rights and freedoms.  

I do acknowledge that reducing the currently unchecked power of the Republican party and President Trump may not be realistic though -- that's dependent on a larger majority of U.S. citizens getting to the polls and voting than has traditionally been the case, especially those affiliated with the Democratic party.  

At present, not all votes count equally at the local/state levels due to gerrymandering and at the national level due to the electoral college.  Those are process breaks in our republic/democracy which need to be seriously addressed, regardless of which political party wields the most power at any given time, in my opinion.
