    That’s a different statement. Yes they need to act before it’s too late, no they cannot act alone

        Courts uphold laws created by Congress. Not the other way around.

        Without their function of upholding the law, they cease to function as courts and, instead become another dictatorial arm of the government merely giving out edicts with no authority… There’s the whole giving courts private army, problems.

        The government needs less of this, not more

          The actual real world function of courts has always been as another arm of the government’s authority. In the real world the interpretation of legislation is also part of the creation and execution of legislation. It’s a continuum, that’s always been how it works.

          Courts are part of the government, not some divine body that exists outside politics.

          Liberals act like the separation of powers isn’t just something they made up. Separation of powers isn’t real and it never has been and it can’t be.
