Why should there be no penalty to the judicial branch for abusing the fourth amendment?

Again, in Europe, it's considered a little weird that we have an exclusionary rule that applies to any branch of government.

But the reason is: judges aren't abusing the Fourth Amendment; they're the arbiters of it.

Only the Supreme Court can claim that; lower judges are overruled all the time (in some sense).
