"Judicial Independence at Risk: Experts Urge Congress to Reconsider DOJ Structure A growing concern among legal experts and advocates is that the structure of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) may be undermining the independence of the judiciary. With judges increasingly facing scrutiny and pressure from politicians, there is a renewed push to separate the courts from the DOJ to prevent political interference. Critics argue that the current setup, where the Attorney General oversees the courts, creates a conflict of interest and can compromise the impartiality of judges. As the debate heats up, lawmakers are being urged to take a closer look at the DOJ's structure and consider reforms to protect the integrity of the judiciary."
Congress must take the courts out of the Justice Department to insulate judges from political interference.
