  In theory or what? Last I heard they were virtually immune. Courts are getting worse, not better too, and judges decide.

    Judges are appointed for life; there’s really no reason why they would match lock step with Trumps orders. Yes they’re conservative (not all of them), but I don’t believe they’re going to break the law or compromise their integrity for Trump.

      Are you for real? You do know about the federalist society? They groom them from law school, picking the ones less likely to come down with patriotism.

      It has not been like you describe since idk when, the 70s really.

        And the left didn’t do the exact same thing for their judges? Y’all are all just incorruptible while the right are spawn of Satan or something?..

      Thats a naive take considering all the ridiculous rulings coming from SCOTUS, the highest court in the land.

        Matter of perspective.
