US federal judges consider creating own armed security force as threats mount

You're viewing a single thread.
They can't. Congress has to do that.
You say that like you genuinely believe the law matters, consider reexamining that assumption
The mistake your making is looking at the subject. The courts won't do something unconstitutional. TRUMP will
So until the courts play the game of "no law" they HAVE to do that.
WE don't.
If they have a choice at all then no they do not have to, they are choosing to, that's just what the words mean
No. See the courts don't make law. They interpret it. But they can't ignore the constitution or they wouldn't be courts.
Cool story
better than yours
It bears no resemblance to reality, so no not really
No, child, you are being petulant and spoiled. You want more treason and chaos because you are upset at the president. And you not only have every right, I am as well
But the answer isn't to destroy our government even more
It's to remove the administration before they do more damage. A private army run by people who can make any law without answering to civilian?
You are giving the government what they want. Mire thugs, less accountability, and more cash.
It's a foolish, poorly thought out proposal that creates vastly more problems
Now I am through being reasonable Bout this subject. If you do not know how the government works and why we as citizens need to stand and fight instead of the courts, then you are one of the issues.
I truly do wish you the best. I will not waste more time on this.
Goddamn you're dumb and long-winded, reality will prove you wrong pretty soon now so just pay attention and you'll find out
To clarify, I don't think it would be a good thing necessarily if courts had their own security/military, I'm just not stupid enough to believe they'd magically stop being courts if that happened. The law doesn't matter if there are no consequences for breaking it, and Trump is busy demonstrating exactly that.
The courts won’t do something unconstitutional.
Why?
Are they stupid?
Because then, they wouldn't be the courts
As long as Trump gets to break the rules without consequences the Dems should get to do that as well.
The courts is not the same as the dems
Who fucking cares?
you do you want something done that the courts won't do
I don't care that they "wouldn't be the courts" - whatever that means. If they wouldn't be the courts, what would they be?
I do care that they act before we fucking die.
Kind of different.
That's a different statement. Yes they need to act before it's too late, no they cannot act alone
But if they act, they aren't courts.
I still have no idea what that means.
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
Sure seems to.
For you maybe
Supreme court could just manifest the ability to fund a system of officers of the court from thin fucking air if they wanted to.
I understand and support your irritation and disgust at this administration
But this is not how the court works. They could , hire some contractors I guess, but they cannot unilateraly create a security service
The Supreme court manifested the entire concept of jurisprudence. I think they could do the same for a system of officers of the court.
Umm. I think you have your facts mistaken or are speaking of something other than jurisprudence.
Marshall laid out his arguments for judicial review in Marbury v Madison. At the time it was supported by Hamilton and others too. But it's not explicitly stated in the constitution. Jurisprudence is entirely an unconstitutional (though consistent with other sections of the constitution) power that the courts granted themselves. It's been a long time since my last us history class though.
