Given this, should blantant partisanship disqualify you from the bench? I’m fine with conservative leaning justices, but this is not justice, nor law. Making decisions on partisan lines should disqualify anyone from serving in the justice system, end of story. Be they blatantly left or blatantly Pedo protectors, they should not serve in a court of law. It’s not Republican law, or democratic law, it is law or it isn’t.
She’s an AG, not a justice, and so is appointed by the president and confirmed by senate. Presumably the confirmation is to keep this position from being wholly partisan. But there’s so many ways for that to fail, which seems exacerbated by the two party system we’ve become entrenched in.
The two party system but also the fact that, around the world, we act like 51% is anything more statistical noise. That’s not a majority. We need to start seeing the bar as being 60-70%, 50% is way too low and results in, functionally, less than half the country being represented.
Don’t worry, in Canada our “centrist” party(read: at the moment, incredibly conservative) was elected in 2015 on that promise…and they immediately gave up on it when they learned they’d probably never win again. And then we let them get away with three other times, if I remember correctly!
It’s all such a joke. I even forgot to point out all of our legal bribery that’s gotta go too. At least North America has plenty of woodland to hide in. For now, anyway.
The electoral college is the worse of the two defects and should be ditched first. Or subverted by the compact among states to cast their electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote in each state.
This needs to involve some time in prison for the guilty.
And Pam is most certainly guilty given her little performances in Congress.
Oh, she’s been covering for these pedos since she worked in Florida. It’s her whole career plan.

Yep, and that requires abandoning the first past the post election style. And probably also the electoral college as it currently stands.

Hurray!

It should, but the process to get rid of them is impeachment, and that’s blocked by the Republicans.
And what justices are you referring to? Bondi’s a political appointee, and leads DOJ, which is a bunch of prosecutors, no judges there.
BUT THE DOW IS
OVERalmost 50,000 DOL… 50,000 POINTS!Not any more. We can care about raping kids now.
