Ain't It Silly?

Didn't anyone inform the courts that the President, the Congress and the
Supreme Court are EQUAL members of government and that one can't order the
other to do anything?

As part of the concept of "checks and balances," each branch is allowed
a certain amount of oversight over the other branches. The "ordering"
you speak of may be covered there?

This brief article has more information on the subject...

However it seems to indicate that the three branches may not ORDER the
others to do anything.

All three branches communicates through *legal orders*. Maybe the news
article you were referring too that mentioned *order* meant *legal
order*? The word *legal* was most likely dropped during the editing
process.

It's silly that this is being discussed in a cycling forum without an
"off topic" notice!
