Hmmmm. One is a corrupt despot who will do anything to further his own ends at the expense of anyone and anything. And the other is Vladimir Putin. Tough choice.

I asked this before, I think.

If not the President who nominates (and whose nominees must be passed through congressional committee, and then approved by both legislative bodies -- who represent the people), how should the Supreme Court justices be determined? By the way, since all three branches of government participate in the process, I don't know how separation of pwers is "removed".

Your answer must offer an ironclad guarantee that whatever process you suggest cannot be politically influenced in any way, shape or form.

Thinking about it, I think you'll find that there is no way. It's not an inherently flawed system. It's a system that becomes flawed if those in it ignore their oaths and abuse the trust placed in them.

Now if you want to argue that ethics rules aren't remotely stringent enough, or SC justices shouldn't be appointed for life, or there should be more of them, then those are different issues that could bring about postentially positive change.

Clarence Thomas is utterly compromised, and should be nowhere near any judicial rulings involving anyone named Trump. Gini Thomas was pretty much in the trenches with the Maga clan during the whole Jan 6 debacle. How she has so far managed to escape any legal scrutiny is beyond me.

It's like he is on a mission to be as cringe-worthy as is humanly possible, isn't it. If being an absolutely detestable tosser was his prime objective, it is clearly "mission accomplished".

Unfortunately about 30% of the USA seem to lap up detestable tossers and treat this particular one like a god.

This is what you get when you make classrooms of children recite the pledge of allegiance every morning. Unquestioning fealty to an idol that can’t string a coherent sentence together.

These are broken people inhabiting a broken country. Fall of Rome style. At least the UK fell off the world stage with more of a pathetic whimper (characteristic of our nation), I fear these guys are going out with a bang.

Not president of the world. Their standing and influence diminished hugely after he was in last time. Collective shaking of the head from countries round the world at his ineptitude, and a knowledge that he is wholly compromised, means that nobody wants to have deal with the US anymore. No credibility.
