Why the fuck is the executive allowed to fire the judicial branch?

Because they aren’t part of the judicial branch.

Especially in political contexts, I’ve found it more and more useful to treat a “WTF” reaction as a signal that I might not have all the facts. It helps me avoid getting rage-baited.

These aren't real courts they're courts run by the executive branch for the express purpose of hearing deportation and asylum cases.
