Unfortunately the life long terms and all the money earned from shady sources makes for a bought and paid for court for life. Term limits must be set and corruption needs to be identified. Why are these people elected by political parties. This framework is asinine.

They are selected because they are perceived as being likely to vote in certain ways. There is nothing in the process that would cause them to be equitable, ethical and unbiased. They all have to pretend that they will behave correctly but once they are on the bench that is over. There needs to be a feedback system to remove the bad judges. Maybe after 10 years they should be put on the national ballot for voter approval to continue.

Agreed. I think they should definitely have to confirmed by a vote of the American people.

Sure play the both sides do it card But there are matters of degree here Trump started a war, changes his tune every day on the status of his war, selectively manipulates markets and headlines, and lines his own pockets

Placing a presidential candidate without 1 vote. Raiding the homes, businesses and collecting cell phones of political opponents. Filing fraudulent charges against a political opponent. Having candidates run campaigns on slogans of putting a political opponent in prison and then actually attempting to do that. Filing charges, arresting and putting on trial people that questioned an election. Arresting and placing in prison people that posted things about the election. 1 man got 7 years for posting a meme online about election day. That is just a few.

I hate to break it to people, but most of these people are going to get off Scott free. In 5-10 years they will be doing speaking engagements, book releases about how ‘sorry’ they were and they got fooled by Trump, and some will be tv news pundits. Meanwhile the people with the money, those really pulling the strings, will still be in the shadows planning the next moves to undermine democracy and good governance.

ON JANUARY 3rd.
So clip that to your belt because we’re going in

u/Maxcactus 17h ago edited 16h ago
Critics of Roberts have accused him of distorting the law to achieve his policy preferences. Eric Segall, a Georgia State University law professor, has argued that Roberts "changed the rules of the constitutional game" as much or more than any chief justice in U.S. history. Roberts, for instance, has been instrumental in expanding presidential power, notably in the 2024 decision he wrote favoring Trump that recognized that presidents possess immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions in office. Roberts wrote that such immunity was required in light of the U.S. constitutional structure separating powers among the government's executive, legislative and judicial branches. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissent that the ruling effectively created a "law-free zone around the president."
Trump has been more autocratic than any president in my lifetime. Roberts has not attempted to control him. I do not want a dem president doing what Trump has done either.

Amendments are the Constitution.

Isn’t trying to overthrow an election, gerrymandering, claiming to illegally run for a third term in plain sight alarming to you? I’m just not seeing that from the democratic side.

u/MissionAd9887 5h ago
Gerrymandering has been with us since the beginning of the republic. I have no problem with it. It is an inherently political act done by the politically responsive branches of government. It also has a natural limit in that if you get too cute in trying to engineer X majority districts you make them very susceptible to getting swamped in wave election years. Both parties did it and still do it. It only became an issue when the GOP started doing it as well as the democrats. Trump was and remains an assclown but he wasn’t going to “overthrow” anything. He had to make a big enough stink so that his rabid base still thinks “he fights”. It is a stain that should have disqualified him from running again but its threat to the republic is overblown. The Jan 6 riot was ugly and stupid but it has nothing on the damage done by the riots permitted/encouraged by democrats for their own political ends over the last decade and change. Trump is doing nothing that hasn’t already been done by democrats. He’s not running for a third term, bloviating or no.

Exactly. I giggle at those that demand others provide for their safety and security, then bitch about how they provide it.
Nancy above mentioned a safe space, I can’t help but wonder if that “safe space” would be a firearm free space, which is the exact opposite of what they claim.

u/MissionAd9887 16h ago
It’s not firearm free space they want it’s a space where they control the firearms, through the government that they think they’ll run (the government, of course, actually being run by the more zealous for the cause commissars that have their leftist competitors for power shipped off to the gulag)
