Checks and balances are great, you're right, but they're all too weak depending on the circumstances, and you can't take them for granted.

I checked my balance just earlier today, and I just can't say I'm in favour of it.

And besides, I did a quick peek on who wrote the paper you linked and found this little gem:
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!
Be that as it may, it should be fairly easy to determine whether the central claim about what was repealed is accurate or not.
