Why the fuck is the executive allowed to fire the judicial branch?
Because they aren’t part of the judicial branch.
Especially in political contexts, I’ve found it more and more useful to treat a “WTF” reaction as a signal that I might not have all the facts. It helps me avoid getting rage-baited.
You think a fake court run by the executive branch acting as if they have judicial authority doesn't warrant a WTF reaction?
... except that you should be enraged at the title "Judge" being applied to administrative hearing officers.
Of course, you should also be enraged at administrative hearing officers being fired for doing their jobs correctly.
These aren't real courts they're courts run by the executive branch for the express purpose of hearing deportation and asylum cases.
