Judges and courts are part of the government. In particular, they apply laws (including the constitution) that were written by the government.

Who appoints the judges?

Wouldn't be the government, would it?

The courts are the government. A separate branch from the executive and legislative, sure, but it's still a government entity.

Yeah, no. Courts are part of the government. Third branch, you know.

Uk Judges are separate from the govenment.

In the UK, the term "government" refers to the executive branch. Outside that use, it encompasses the legislative, executive and judiciary power of a state. Wikipedia gives the following definition:

Government consists of the legislators, administrators, and arbitrators in the administrative bureaucracy who control a state at a given time, and the system by which they are organized.

Judges are part of that by definition, even if there's some separation from the other components.

And judges also enforce the laws passes by Congress (and state and local laws). They're both ultimately enforcing laws passes by Congress.

The court system is part of the government, and an important part of the checks and balances which make modern democracy work.

This just shifts enforcement to the courts, which are part of the government.

How is a judicial authority not a part of the government?

kube-system | karma 21374 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2022-10-12 12:34:16

And the judicial branch.

The judiciary to be precise.

Most people consider the legal system (i refuse to call any state run court a justice system) part of the government, it is the enforcement arm of the government

Executive, Legislative, Judicial, are the 3 general area's of a functioning government
