That’s what the courts are supposed to be for.

But the way things are supposed to be is just a very distant memory. The system has been sabotaged. We no longer have the checks and balances, separation of powers, Constitutional government, the rule of law rather than the rule of men, or electoral consequences holding elected officials accountable. Everything the Founders built into the system to make it work has been disabled. And that is the really sobering thing about this issue.

“That’s what the courts are supposed to be for.”

If that be the case then there will be no justice. Federal Courts are all but incapable of justice.

I agree except that I think i have less confidence that the system was ever suppose to work as your allege. Men appointed by the very officers they are suppose to judge will not serve as check.
