Oh, of course.
The executive branch is accountable to the legislative branch (through budget approvals and oversight) and ultimately to the people (through elections). This accountability structure would be blurred if judges were making executive financial decisions.
You telling me? Of course I know this.
It's like saying the accountants of the company making the financial decisions instead of the CEO. It just doesn't make much sense.
Judges must remain impartial to ensure fair trials and legal decisions. If they were involved in financial decisions within the executive branch, it could create conflicts of interest and undermine their objectivity.
Agree.
Federal courts also have some inherent authority to address judicial misconduct, such as the power to discipline judges for contempt of court or to remove them from specific cases due to bias or conflict of interest.
I hope someone step in and discipline these judges.
