Isn't that up to the Judicial branch?

I won't go into how mandatory sentencing has substantially shifted power from the judicial to the executive branch already.... :P Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

They blow the wistle, get no protection, and then sue for not getting protection. I don't see where the executive branch is really involved here. I must be missing something. ________________ oop.ismad.com
