Certainly. We elect congressional members as our representatives to legislate. The Executive branch was never intended to legislate, and neither was the Judicial. Their roles are clearly laid out in our constitution. If we don't take that literally, or try to skate what we see as an obstacle in our way (the constitution that is) and play games rather than keep a strict adherence to the spirit of the Constitution then we can now throw it all out as bullshite.
