    The DOJ is subordinate to the Judiciary, regardless of what these assclowns are trying to cosplay.

    The Judiciary is equal to Executive and Congress. That’s just a fucking fact. A Federal Judges ruling has the same weight as any bullshit Executive Order Trump can crap out on paper.

      That seems to matter little to this regime. So, I ask again, what happens when they clash? We saw them stage a situation and try to arrest sitting members of congress and a mayor. In a sane world, you are correct. We don’t live in that world so subordination doesn’t matter!

      Maybe crack open a book on US government or read an encyclopedia article: Department of Justice is department of the executive branch. Historically, they started out as the federal government’s attorneys/prosecutors.

      The judicial branch only has the federal courts, its judges, its administrators.

        Maybe crack open a dictionary and understand what subordinate means.

        If the Judicial Branch is equal to Executive, then any subordinate of the Executive is subordinate to the Judiciary.

        Y’all gotta learn more.

              Checks & balances don’t mean “any subordinate of the Executive is subordinate to the Judiciary”: they’re still separate/independent branches with limited powers to keep each other in check. It’s called separation of powers.

              Checks by the judicial branch are scant: pretty much declare legislation & executive actions unconstitutional. It’s powerless to enforce. Prosecutorial discretion remains with the prosecutor.

              The Department of Justice is under the executive branch: quit willfully ignoring that/pretending that means anything else. We get the government we have, not the government as we wish it were.

                It LITERALLY means that a subordinate anything of any branch of government is just that. SUB-waitforit-ORDINATE. The words are right there in the link I sent you.

                Stop trolling and start learning instead of spreading you absolutely insane and uneducated crap here.

                  Are you referring to yourself?

                  Maybe you need to whip out a dictionary or go back to lower education & not sleep through US civics/government.

                  The words are right there in the link I sent you.

                  subordinate is nowhere on that page: did you hallucinate? Try quoting it.

      Those are only facts if someone enforces it at the business end of a weapon.
