The function of the judicial branch of government is distinct for the functions of the legislative branch and the executive branch. Simply put, the Congress creates legislation, the President administers the government, and the judicial branch ensures that both Congress and the President, as well as the citizenry of the United States, abide by this Constitution and any duly passed laws consistent with it. Without a Judicial Congress, elected by the people, the President and Congress appoint and manage the very branch of government charged with holding them accountable. This allows presidents to fire attorney generals who threaten to investigate them. It allows majority parties to appoint judges based on their willingness to “legislate from the bench,” ensuring judicial political bias that lasts long after Congress or the President are replaced by voters. A Judicial Congress, elected by the people, for extended (but not lifelong) terms, provides a truly democratic means for the appointment and oversight of the judicial branch.
