Elected officials who should be thrown out on their asses

[American]

This is the kind of **** some of our representatives believe, and that these types get voted into office is astounding!

There isn't a full picture there. What is she talking about? In relation to what subject?

It is true, there are topics that even in an parliamentary republic, the parliament doesn't know about or have the right to know about. And even within a legislative branch, whatever it may be, there are only certain people that are privy to certain information according to what offices they hold, what comittees they chair and etc. There are certain institutions who are not under the obligation to respond to the legislative branch. Which are these? Differs from country to country.

So in theory, she is right. But again, what is she talking about? Which topic? Without the larger context, one cannot tell if she is right or wrong.

EDIT: But this has nothing to do with separation of powers in state. Separation of powers simply means that powers, traditionally speaking these are judicial, legislative and executive, are part of different entities and no person can hold office in more than 1 branch. So if you're part of the executive, you can't be part of the legislative and the judiciary and all other combinations. It also refers to the principle that each branch doesn't influence or control the other.

So separation of powers in state has nothing to do with who has the right to know what. That's a structural issue -> how you form comittees and oversight and how you do the checks and balancing act.

I have absolutely no idea what your original beef is about, or what that 17 second video is supposed to show, but I'll respond to the thread title this way:

Elected officials who should be thrown out on their asses - all of them.
