Could you point to your source for the claim about the Marshall’s Service falling under the Judicial Branch of the government? My understanding is that his belongs to the DoJ so would fall under the Executive Branch.
Source: I made it up!
Apparently I was wrong. There is a Marshal under the direct control of the supreme court, but it’s just a single guy, who does control a police force, but the mandate of that police force is to protect the supreme court, not to enforce orders. I’ll try to update the post with my new understanding tonight.
No worries, we all make some mistakes with our assumptions at times and forget to double check every fact. I think it was a minor, and largely trivial error to the larger point. i just wasn’t sure and did a quick google check (so had Gemini answering, but I’ve seen it hallucinate enough to not take it as certian) but that can easily miss some finer points.
I confused the Supreme Court Marshal and the U.S. Marshals. It’s particularly easy to confuse them because the job of the U.S. Marshals is to enforce court orders, it just happens to be under the control of the executive.
