Courts are independent of the Executive, at least for the most part.farronwolf:
I realize you’re trying to speak rhetorically, but there isn’t anyone “in charge of the justice system.” The judiciary is an independent branch of government.
You may choose to think something I wrote “ignores reality.” There is in fact nothing “comical” about what was in fact a coup attempt - in fact, it’s the furthest thing from comical; it’s terrifying what people like Page and Strzok did. It’s also terrifying that people don’t recognize it.
In my jurisdiction (I imagine the same applies in America) each local, state and federal court will have a separate Chief Justice or similar who oversees only that particular court. So even in that sense alone, there is no one person or body in charge of the entirety of the judicial system.
Then again, what do you mean by “legal system”? Legislative, Executive and Judiciary are all part of the legal system, obviously, but all are certainly (or at least meant to be) independent of each other.
Where you would go in the “legal system” to achieve a particular legal result depends on what you want to do. If you want legislation made or changed, you go to the legislative. If you want courts to enforce or interpret a particular law, you go to the judicial arm, etc.
