In an interview released on Thursday, Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Comey Barrett had to be asked twice what the nation’s highest court would do if Donald Trump turned up his nose at an adverse ruling and refused to abide by it.In a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times’ Ross Douthat,...
“Coney Barrett then admitted that the court’s hands would largely be tied because there is a limited enforcement mechanism at its disposal.”
Only fix I can think of would be to take the Justice Department away from the Executive Branch and place it under the Judicial Branch, but that would involve re-writing the Constitution and that’s a door we definitely DO NOT want to open.
Oh here we go they are giving Trump more “outs” from rule of law. Fantastic.
In a functioning government, that is not a structure that we would want because then judges would not be a neutral 3rd party (at least as intended).
There may be merit in the idea of moving the Inspector Generals under the Judicial branch however the but even that would require rewriting the constitution.
In reality, congress is supposed to have this responsibility, but our current congress is broken for a number of reasons.
who says there needs to be 3 branches? add a 4th… having a partisan DOJ makes the judicial basically powerless
Personally, I think that America should be split into four regions, each with their own congress, president, and judiciary. The supreme court can have each region submit four of their retired regional judges apiece to serve the nation as a whole. Plus another five judges, each chosen by a regional president, and a figurehead president who was elected by the other presidents. Toss in term and age limits, to make sure that they are swapped with fresh minds relatively often.
21 national justices, with a lot more checks and balances.
