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?
The solution to the problem, has nothing to do with government. The problem is corruption, and it's systemic. As long as men and women are willing to compromise themselves for filthy lucre, Truth has no chance to prevail. We need a big dose of morality, and it's almost illegal to talk about it anymore.
