By Judeo-Christian, I'm referring to the Judeo-Christian ethic of "good vs. evil," or rather, "us vs. The Devil," the adversarial, religious underpinnings of our legal system. In essence, I had always thought that the same concept applied toward the different branches of our government in the whole checks and balances thing. I didn't realize that Checks and Balances was more "Oh, sure I'll sign off on your budget."

The Judeo-Christian reference I made is not likely what people think of when talking about law. I spent about a third of the business law class I'm taking a final on tomorrow talking about "in what ways does the Judeo-Christian ethic affect laws and how they're applied" which was more than just the adversarial stuff.
