You should see what's happening in Nigeria at the moment in my country. #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria

Ever heard of the Warren-court?

free society?!!! Free from what from whom?!?!

It's more of a political tool in the hands of the Senate, imo. SCOTUS hasn't exactly been a rubber stamp for this administration.

And term limits. "One sensible way to lower the temperature on appointments, & preserve the legitimacy of the court, is to establish term limits for justices.. staggered, regular appointmnts to 18yr terms. Each president wld get 2 appointments per elected term, 1 every other yr."

This is part of the slow-motion coup the Rs have been running for 30 years. Pack judiciary w stooges, then suppress voting eg gutting Civil Rights era voting laws, Florida ex-felons, Stacey Abrams in GA. Judges= lifetime appointments so packed for decades.

In as much as politicians appoint judges things will always be politics. Term limits would at least mitigate bad consequences and spread out the impact.

the whole scheme is rotten or hack. who supervise the supervisor? is piramidal. judge are human and survive with money and the money is a coogov executive tool.

I do not get why you refers to this as a 2020 problem. All judiciary systems have been politicized since their inception. Moreover the work of judges and prosecutors is inevitably influenced by their own preconceptions.
