"The executive and legislative branches install judges, but cannot punish them for their rulings."

Explanation: The executive (e.g., president) nominates judges and the legislature (e.g., Senate) confirms them. Once on the bench judges are independent and cannot be removed for their judicial decisions; removal is possible only through the formal impeachment process for misconduct or crimes.
