The courts administer justice and are the only unelected seat of
power.
The courts are independent of the other entities that exercise
power. Judges are not only independent, but also enjoy security of
tenure (they cannot be removed from their post) and immune from
personal liability (so that they can decide freely, in accordance
with their conscience, and without any duty of accountability to
other entities that exercise power). The courts' decisions override
those of any other authority.
