The fight between Judge Sumi & the Walker administration…

…over her possibly illegal court order reminds me of something I’ve been saying for years:

I believe that the increasingly politicized nature of our court systems will eventually lead an executive branch of a state government or of the Federal government to completely ignore a decision of a Supreme Court.

After all, buy cialis ed what’s the ignored court going to do? They control no police force or military resources. They have no way to enforce their orders. Orders only have weight if the other two branches of government choose to honor them. The more the courts are seen as just another tool for one political faction or another to achieve their aims, pilule the more likely it is that the other branches will treat them with the contempt they deserve.

(Don’t assume I’m talking about liberal courts versus conservative governors. The same could happen the other way around with a conservative court and a liberal President, for example.)
