Some might take exception to my calculation about Ruth Bader Ginsburg holding as much power as 67 members of Congress. And their exception is for good reason. While the Constitution vests the judicial power of the United States in “one supreme Court [sic]”, it also includes in that phrase “such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” In fact, Congress has established a good number of other courts—well over 94, in fact—with more than 850 judges presiding. One could therefore argue that I made a mistake dividing the power of the judicial branch by the eight members of the Supreme Court. Instead, I should have divided it by 850—or some number between eight and 850. Perhaps. But we don’t assume that the President’s power is divided into Cabinet members, or the staffs of federal agencies. The President leads the executive branch. Members of Congress lead the legislative. And justices of the Supreme Court lead the judicial. So the equation stands…with this discussion appended. Return to the post—
