President Trump promised to fill the appeals courts with “my judges.” They have formed a nearly united phalanx to defend his agenda from legal challenges.

When you see a breakdown like this it makes it clear that judges are just a different form of politician and the law is nearly entirely corrupted.

I think by now we ran the test of people being impartial, and it didn’t fucking work. Time to make all judges elected only.
yeah elections have been proven to be tremendously successful in getting great politicians into office! /s
Just skip the repeated failures to reform these doomed institutions and abolish all of this shit
Lol I wish we could have one centralized authority that would unilaterally make all of the decisions for us. I think the executive branch would be the best place to start, and instead of voting, we can just let the current guy decide what he feels best.
here’s a crazy idea but what if nobody is in charge and we all just collectively decide what we want through a system of consensus?
That’s what voting is.
It’s the closest we can have to a fair shot at it.
nah it’s not, we can do better, don’t settle for abusive relationships!
I mean, there’s plenty I’d change with our voting system and even who we vote on and the power they can hold, but voting is non-negotiable. Are you saying there’s a different form of consensus than voting?
Consensus decision making is different from democratic voting, yes, but the process is more democratic than simply voting.
As far as I am concerned, representative democracy has been tested and failed spectacularly.
We need something else, for sure.
When the problem is that your jusges are too political, making it more political seems like the wrong move.
I mean it’s the same result, just more removed from accountability and decision making directly. Same amount of political, more direct decision making. And we’ve got to get rid of the whole lifetime appointments bullshit. How that ever seemed like a good idea is beyond me
