When an executive doesn't agree with a judicial opinion, he could just ignore it?

Keyes is advocating legal anarchy.

I don't disagree. Please see my post # 3.

So if a judge issues an opinion in direct opposition to the constitution, then we must obey and honor that opinion?


Judicial anarchy is just as dangerous.

When the Executive doesn't agree with the decision of a judge to put an innocent person to death, there's nothing in the Constitution to prevent the Executive from seizing the judge.

BTW, the "division of powers" arguments have an end of the line element in them ~ the question arises about "who may arrest the sheriff".
