In reply to the discussion: Vance says Roberts is 'profoundly wrong' about Supreme Court's role to check the executive branch [View all]SSJVegeta
(2,240 posts)13. My interpretation from his comment
"I thought that was a profoundly wrong sentiment. That's one half of his job. The other half of his job is to check the excesses of his own branch,"
He at least seems to acknowledge that checking the executive is a responsibility of the judiciary. I suppose it isn't also crazy to say thay the judiciary should also check itself (kinda how the executive should also check itself, but they clearly refuse to.)
