They said that because lawmakers hadn’t expressly ordered justices to act, they were refusing to rule one way or the other.“If district attorneys exercise judicial power, our regulation of the exercise of that power may well be within our inherent power as the head of the Judicial Branch,” justices wrote. “But if district attorneys exercise only executive power, our regulation of the exercise of that power would likely be beyond th...
