Specifically California lower court judges. They literally campaigned on trying up Trump in legal battles to stop him from doing any work. Setting aside the bullshit idea of elected judges

The Courts should not be used for political agendas... but they are.

The whole idea of the system we have was to keep as much of the government apolitical as possible

Courts always have politics in them

The US system just seems to readily accept this

We could reduce it allot by getting rid of judge elections

Sheriff too

I mean I don't think that would help

Because appointed judges are hugely political

yeah, at least they are accountable to someone in that case. for federal judgeships the appointment is lifetime. they are accountable to no one and therefore free to do whatever they wish to push an agenda

Make it a nomination system, meaning you don't get to put yourself forward

A petition in your name to run perhaps

I mean elections work via you getting nominations from others to get on the ballot

No, as it is anyone can run for whatever. They just have to declare intent

And be prepared to campaign

Dunno if that's true. Almost every election, even smaller ones tend to require an amount of people to nominate someone who wants to run.

Party nominations are bs, that's just the same issue as appointed roles

Nothing to do with party as far as I'm aware. It's just nominations to stand in an election.

What state are you in?

I'm not. However I'd be surprised if the US had elections without any requirements for standing.

We do

You seem to have very high ballot access requirements

And for Congress I can agree with it. They've accumulated too much power, and have become disconnected, but they were supposed to be the closest connection to the public and what their concerns are. Judicial branch is supposed to be an unwavering apolitical keeper of the law.

Yes, Dems have put in allot of gatekeeping

Which is unconstitutional

So they denied shooting down, but now they accidentally shot down

Like

Just like a kid would do when caught.

How can this "accidentally" happen rofl

People are saying it was the US who shot down the plane
