I think that it's an important "check and balance" against judicial tyranny that elected officials can follow their consciences and tell the judges to go to hell. If the elected official is out of line IN THE OPINION OF THE PEOPLE, then that elected official can be impeached and removed.
Have enough of this happen, and judges just might decide to stay within the actual confines of their authority.
Judges cn fine and hold in contempt. Of course they have no amy or officers. Where’s andy jackson when we need him?
