From deportation defiance to unchecked presidents, this op-ed unpacks how America's legal system struggles to hold the most powerful truly accountable.

The article discusses the challenges to the U.S. system of checks and balances when the executive branch defies the judicial system, using the example of former President Donald Trump's actions. It highlights how Trump's refusal to comply with court orders and his public criticism of judges undermined the judiciary's authority.

It emphasizes the importance of all branches of government respecting judicial decisions to maintain the integrity of the democratic system, and notes that without adherence to these principles, the foundational checks and balances that protect democracy are at risk.
