More of this please! Keep it up folks! This needs to happen everywhere!
Agreed. If we want to fix this country, we’re going to need to swing super-majorities away from the GOP. Our next President needs to be committed to the goal of restricting the power of the Executive Branch. We’ll need a congress that makes checks and balances clearer.
Do we need to restrict the power of the executive branch? Definitely. I believe that if the next President isn't conservative they should prioritize first undoing all the batshit craziness of the current administration, pack the Supreme Court, then lock things down so runaway executive power can't happen again.
The Supreme Court shouldn't even be appointable by a politician at all. It otherwise will be too partisan. If you ask me, the best government is one where the most powerful are no more powerful than you and me.
But anyway, the Supreme Court should also be significantly expanded. C = 0.075 3sqrt(US populace + 2) would be a good formula, where C = court size.
According to this formula, the US in 2020 should've had 54 judges. The supreme judges could be elected from a pool of multiple random ballots, out of a pool of all federal judges, whereas the latter could be appointed by the same method, through a pool of all in their area, who have passed juridicial examination; the examination requirements are set by an independent commission randomly appointed from a group of federal judges, who then have to give up their federal judgehood.
Any judge also may not be politically active.
