If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.

If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal.
Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.
Burgers have an extremely r-slurred political system. If a PM in Canada actually tried the Burger "Ignore the courts", the House of Commons would force a non confidence vote, and they would likely lose it.
What's the point of the judiciary if one of the President's goons says "The President said so"?
MAGA cultists should be forced to pay a 300% tariff on everything.

This is only true if the Commons has a majority of non Kool-Aid drinkers. Congress can impeach Trump or Vance for any behaviour they don't like too. Both these systems can be overridden by a party sufficiently in thrall to its leader.

Politicians tend to like getting re-elected.
If public opinion is toxic, even backbenchers will feel enough heat to join the opposition into voting non confidence.

Sadly our voters are so buckbroken now that they no longer have any values except their team winning. Trump's plan to invade Gaza is proof of this. The one thing that everyone has to admit Trump did right, probably the #2 reason (after immigration) that people voted for him, is that he didn't get us into any wars, especially in the Middle East. This is a complete 180. It's like if after the election Hitler announced he's converting to Judaism. And chuds just go along with it like this is what they always wanted.

This is the problem with voting for an "outsider". They really quickly become just another politician.
