Quote:
The only way the legal system can operate is if law enforcement officials do what the courts tell them. Judges don?t carry guns or enforce their own orders. That?s the job of law enforcement.

In the end, the only legally binding check on law enforcement is the authority of the judiciary to say what the law is -- and be listened to by the cops on the streets.

When a sheriff ignores the courts, he becomes a law unto himself. The courts? only available recourse is to sanction the sheriff. If the president blocks the courts from making the sheriff follow the law, then the president is breaking the basic structure of the legal order.
I'll just leave this here
