Chief Justice Roberts Rebukes Trump AGAIN in Rare Public Appearance
And that question is: Why does the federal executive branch have to comply with ANY decision made by the federal judiciary, i.e. the supreme court of the United States of America, and any inferior federal court?
“In our Constitution, judges and the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of, of the president. and that innovation doesn’t work if it’s not the judiciary is not independent,” Roberts said.
Roberts says strike down, obviously. Hold on, wait a minute, just a second.
If the judiciary, legislative, and executive branches of the government are co-equal to the other, doesn't that mean that none of them have more power than the other two?
If they are co-equal, how does the judiciary have the power to strike down something the others do???
If they are co-equal, and the scotus says something is not constitutional, why can't the other two branches simply say, It Is Constitutional and ignore scotus?
With "friends" like Roberts American's don't need enemies.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fact.
DeleteAs to answer your question, thus the "let them enforce it." comment from prior executives.
ReplyDeleteThe public shame was supposed to act as the brake on authority run rampant. They have the authority to declare the act unconstitutional, but they have no means of enforcing it.
