I hope the point is that the people who set the social norms (which make you think OF girls and Drug Dealers are bad people) are the real enemy.

If you believe anyone is above politics I have a bridge to sell you.

My point is precisely that the US Supreme Court is embroiled in politics. The notion that being appointed somehow insulates the justices from politics is absurd.

Elections at least create some semblance of accountability to the voters.

Elected Judges still get their jobs done. They have clerks who do a lot of their drafting and grunt work in the office.

For large elections, there are staffers and volunteers who do a lot of the electioneering. For small elections, campaign events only occur on weekends and at other times when court is not in session.

Typo fixed. Pedantry is fun isn’t it.?

US Supreme Court Justices are not elected. They make a lot of political decisions beyond just upholding the status quo. There are a lot of US states that have judicial elections and they don’t have major crises because of it.

Short terms of office should have the same effect. If you want to stay in power you should have fight for it.

It’s more of a loophole for jobs like serving that rely on tips. If it was the minimum then all the minimum wage earners would be at server salary.

Chad peaked in high school and has a beer gut now. Gym bros were often losers in school who turned it around after they graduated.

I remember going through Roe v. Wade in law school and thinking how shaky the legal foundation was. This is a great case study of why we need to formally adopt laws in congress and not just rely on the whims of the court.

The whole assuming humans to be rational part is what messes up the calculation.

It sounds like you actually care about all of this. Thanks for making a refugee camp for us. Keep being professional about it and I’m sure you will nurture a great community.
