raid? Uhhhh as I said to others, how can the FBI run a search on a judge? They the executive branch police the judicial branch. Why can't they do the same of the congressional?
But isn't even the judicial branch under the oversight of the House rather than the executive? For instance, Congress can set up or absolve district courts on a whim and the House has the specific authority to remove cases from the Court's jurisdiction.
It just seems to me that the founders put a lot of authority in the hands of Congress (particularly the House), authority that has been eroded over the years by both the executive and the judicial branches.
