Judges are not 'sovereigns' of the Judiciary, nor are they above law

In a democracy, no one – not even the head of state – is above the law. That’s a cardinal rule in free societies. A democracy isn’t an executive monarchy, or a dictatorship in which royals or thugs are above the law. The word of such potentates is often law. Not in Kenya, or the United States. But no one is beneath the law either. The law must be applied equally to all.
