From a comment earlier but worth discussion: “Seems our whole system of “checks and balances” has a weak spot - the judiciary is not accountable to anyone but themselves, unlike the other branches. Once they’re entrenched it’s hard to remove them, and there’s no periodic review of their rulings and what type of cases they choose. It’s a place where corrupt or subversive elements could get into and hide out.”
Other than initial appointments, what checks and balances are there on the judicial branch? How could the system be improved moving forward?
Prolly maybe, but any system can be corrupted. That is human nature. The 10% that are borderline personalty disordered, i.e. Psychopathic, Sociopatic or Narcissitic, will find a sneaky way to enrich themselves through deceit and gaming the trust-based contractual system.
The trick is in keeping to societal values, such as truth, honesty etc. And TBH the 'system' that was set up hundreds of years ago, was erupting in many centres, but it was so beautifully penned in the US. That system, starting with a constitution, is the best there is. Others can only copy it. Nevertheless, in defense of Monarchy - there CAN be benevolent Kings - but they have been inbreeding for centuries. (See: spiteful mutants. I digress/). Just a reminder - Monarchy and Imperial conquest is where the current 'system' descended from, and it was rebelled against.
I think that complete chaos is not an alternative as a 'system'. Why do you think the globalists have designed the rainbow package? To de-stabilize. If we can reclaim the 'old' system that is still hanging on by its fingernails, we can improve it by at last getting rid of the rotten apples.
Agreed. The system itself is excellent (best in the world) - but EVERY system ultimately depends on the people that run it and keep it going.
Our system depends on 1) real elections instead of fake, rigged elections, and 2) people that are not complete idiots to vote in those real elections.
Right now, the U.S. only has fake, rigged elections that are largely ignored by a population consisting of mostly idiots.
That is why, collectively, we can't have nice things. As a whole, the people of the U.S. currently do not deserve to have nice things...
Yes. Number one is properly conducted elections. The US, for example imposed ID-presented paper ballots, with thumb ink, on Iraqis. that election was internationally recognized as fair. But, the hipocrisy was that elections back home were impossibly corrupt, and worsening.
So, now the US elections are not credible. And EVERYBODY in the world can see it, and it needs to stop, starting at local levels.
Number two is a competence argument. This works on several levels: of course one needs literate, and educated people to do the moving-and-shaking stuff. Get rid of the smooth-talking transformative managers relying on very expensive comms departments. But the problem is: we live in a blanket of propaganda coming from those satanic mills. Many people still believe the government channels parading as newspapers or TV news, believing the myth that that information is credible, because it is 'mainstream'. The regular Joe cannot even discern smear articles from truth. So, there is an issue of pepe-competence to recognize the lies from the get go, and that there, is a culture change.
Culture changes are best effected via human networks.
