Federal law enforcement ultimately reports to the president, not the judiciary. Maybe that was a mistake, but there is nothing the judiciary can do within the system if the executive refuses to enforce against itself. Maybe they could go outside the system but, so could you.
They have marshalls for that. Perhaps what this is showing us that the marshalls need some reforms
We’ve lost the chance at reform. It’s just gonna be 100 years of authoritarian rule.
I don't agree that it's locked in, but we are certainly at the presupace. You and I are still talking about this without significant fear of the secret police knocking down our doors, so we aren't there yet.
The Director of the United States Marshals Service answers to the president. They protect the judiciary, but they aren't it's police force.
