I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • Isn’t that just checking the power? If there’s no way for a power to check another power, that’s absolute chaos. And confirmation by the senate doesn’t mean the judge will listen to the senate’s every single bidding. The only thing that makes judges “beholden” to the legislature is impeachment, and that’s pretty hard. You may as well say the executive is beholden to the legislature. And it’s not like the US ever had direct presidential elections.

    Judges’ lifetime appointment system on good behavior is meant to prevent them from being chosen by electioneering while still reflecting the opinions of the populace through being selected for nomination by the president. Though under Trump, they’re pretty much selected through internal election under the Federalist Society anyways.
