       Philosophy of law people are like “the court is the only institution that relies entirely on legitimacy because it needs the other branches to enforce its rulings” as though judges didn’t have the power to put people in jail purely on suspicious that they had contempt for the court.

       All offices with authority have that authority due to the norms of the institution they’re a part of; institutional actors follow their orders or show deference according to those norms. Judges are not special in this regard.
