    Maybe crack open a dictionary and understand what subordinate means.

    If the Judicial Branch is equal to Executive, then any subordinate of the Executive is subordinate to the Judiciary.

    Y’all gotta learn more.

          Checks & balances don’t mean “any subordinate of the Executive is subordinate to the Judiciary”: they’re still separate/independent branches with limited powers to keep each other in check. It’s called separation of powers.

          Checks by the judicial branch are scant: pretty much declare legislation & executive actions unconstitutional. It’s powerless to enforce. Prosecutorial discretion remains with the prosecutor.

          The Department of Justice is under the executive branch: quit willfully ignoring that/pretending that means anything else. We get the government we have, not the government as we wish it were.

            It LITERALLY means that a subordinate anything of any branch of government is just that. SUB-waitforit-ORDINATE. The words are right there in the link I sent you.

            Stop trolling and start learning instead of spreading you absolutely insane and uneducated crap here.

              Are you referring to yourself?

              Maybe you need to whip out a dictionary or go back to lower education & not sleep through US civics/government.

              The words are right there in the link I sent you.

              subordinate is nowhere on that page: did you hallucinate? Try quoting it.
