Can the executive terminate the employment contract of a nominated director of a DOJ employee, if there are to be three separate branches of government?
- mcmcmc 3y agoThe DOJ is literally part of the executive branch
- westurner 3y agoThere is a nomination procedure which requires (?) Congressional confirmation, but Congress has no recourse for obstructive termination of a nominated director by the executive? Isn't that the wolf guarding the hen house; i.e. what the founders expressly intended to prevent?
- ceejayoz 3y agoThe recourse is impeachment.
- westurner 3y agoWith the war powers authorized in the 2000s, there's more than impeachment. Are they American? Where is their birthy certy? (Is there Habeas Corpus for all persons. "You're not even American!") If the executive is totally immune, they wouldn't need to assist a foreign country illegally in order to get Congress to grant them extra power.
- ceejayoz 3y agoWho said anything about the executive? You simply can’t file a “conflict of interest” case against SCOTUS. At all. The statute of limitations is a femtosecond. That said, the DOJ is executive, not judicial. The courts are not part of it.
- westurner 3y agoAh, because the DOJ Department of Justice != the Judicial Branch. Can SCOTUS censure Members of Congress or the Executive, then? If there are insufficient checks and balances there should be Amendments to preserve separation of powers amongst the branches.
