    Arrested by whom? Isn’t it the executive branch that controls the enforcement of laws and judicial decisions?

    Serious question. What power does the judiciary have to enforce their rulings.

      No. Absolutely not.

      You also don’t have a fundamental understanding of how the constitution works.

      Do you know what the three branches of government are and what they are responsible for? This is grade school stuff.

        My guy, you are right that this is taught in grade school civics class. But that isn’t the zing you think it is.

        The legislative makes the law The judicial interprets the law The executive enforces the law

        Judges can’t enforce anything. They need people from the executive side to do the enforcing.

        You keep repeating the same misinformation throughout this post and are getting the down votes for it.

          Exactly why I qualified my statement with “enforce the law”.

          Never said they make the law.

          Its pathetic that people are even commenting on very basic things regarding the constitution here.

          Although the text of the take care clause “seemingly invests the office with broad enforcement authority,” it also limits the executive’s power. As the Constitution Annotated notes, the clause “underscores that the executive is under a duty to execute the laws of Congress faithfully and not disregard them.”

          The executive is not there to enforce anything except what Congress has already passed. You can’t make shit up and decide that up is down and yellow is green at your leisure.

            One more time

            The judicial interprets, not “enforces”.

            The executive doing their job wrong doesn’t change this.
