And yet, somehow they manage to do good work.

The US system of checks and balances is designed to fit self-interested groups against each other, to check each others' evils, and produce positive outcomes even out of very flawed human beings.

SCOTUS is quite the exception that proves the rule, that shows how well designed governmental systems can actually function.
