At the heart of the constitution is a separation of powers, which limits each branch of government and allows other branches of government to stop it from over-stepping its bounds. Without that, we are at the mercy of whoever happens to be the most ruthless in grabbing power. That is why impeachment has to be a remedy. Other judges have continued to draw their salaries while behind bars for violations of the law because they had not been impeached. Nor is she the only one.
Nothing is more dangerous than the idea that some public officials are above the law.
