    It’s the 3rd equal part of government as defined by the US Constitution, so yes, it IS an institution just as much as the Legislative and Executive branches.

    You can’t ignore a constitutionally mandated part of our government just because you don’t agree with them.

    Now, it CAN change. We saw it change on abortion rights, all it takes is a concerted effort to appoint judges who feel the way you do over a 50 year period of time.

      I don’t think you’re being very present in our conversation. You’re not following very well.

      When did I say it wasn’t an institution? When did I say it wasn’t a branch of government?

      all it takes is a concerted effort to appoint judges who feel the way you do over a 50 year period of time.

      Oh there are much easier and faster ways to deal with them. Like for instance just ignoring them.

        2 Comments above:

        “It’s not some sacred institution that should be respected.”

        1Comment above:
        “It’s not an institution that means anything.”

        When did I say it wasn’t a branch of government?

        That’s implied when you say “just ignore them.”

        You do NOT have the option of ignoring a branch of government defined by the Constitution.

        Anymore than you can choose to ignore the Executive or Legislative branches.
