It also highlights the importance of judicial appointments.
“It also highlights the importance of judicial appointments.”
Actually it highlights the impotence of Congress which fails in its Constitutional duty to check the power of the judiciary.
The Constitution provides two remedies for judicial tyranny and criminality. Congress has the power to impeach and remove judges who violate their oaths and fail to uphold the Constitution. Article II, Section 4.
Congress also has the power to determine the jurisdiction of the courts (Article III). Congress can remove immigration issues from the jurisdiction of the courts at any time.
Judicial appointments are importance but the founders knew there would be malfeasance in the judicial branch and provided the remedy. Unfortunately, in the 21st Century, Congress refuses to do its duty.
