Given the very apparent corruption within our judicial system, I have begun to wonder why there is no mechanism for voting on the officials that do the jobs within this section of our government.
These unelected judges seem to be wreaking havoc on our justice system. They're subverting our society. It seems our "only option" is to impeach them.
I'm not an expert with government and the intricacies of how it all works/fits together, but there has to be a way to solve this corruption. The judicial system keeps on popping up as being problematic lately. I am sure it's been going on like this for a long time and people weren't really paying attention to it.
With the internet, we're now able to share ideas/information very quickly and it has become obvious that there are major issues with how our government is operating at this point.
What are your thoughts?
There were some good discussions about how judges can be dismissed with a simple majority vote (50% +1) in cases of poor performance, a lower threshold than impeachment which requires a 2/3 majority.
That would help, even though it doesn't completely solve it. Accountability in the executive and legislative will also help once it's restored with true voting.
The nature of our country's problems, having grown like a slow infestation of tangled ivy, penetrating and corrupting every part simultaneously, is that tackling any one section creates problems everywhere else. I don't believe it can be solved without destroying the entire system with a wrecking ball and building it anew.
