Packing the courts is better for the Dems, even if the Republicans pack back

[Dereich]

If you promote the idea that judges are nothing but an extension of political parties, what stops that view from trickling down to other judges as well? I don't want to see people refuse to follow court orders because the judge was nominated by another party or sheriffs only enforce warrants and orders from friendly judges. The courts don't have any power to enforce their authority themselves; they have to depend on the executive branch to do so. Undermining the legitimacy of judicial institutions encourages those that enforce the law to ignore them. Andrew Jackson's quote where he said "Justice Marshall had made his decision, now let him enforce it" was a tragedy, not something to be encouraged.
