If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.

If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.

Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.

    The supreme court went and said that anything vaguely related to presidential duties can’t be questioned by the court.

    This is frighteningly close to President = King and tyranny.
