they have their system - and, the picking of the supreme court judges is purely political - that's the way they have made the system

to me - what America is showing us is that the exceptionalism that it's supposedly been crowned with is just not justified

they have holes of such a size you could drive small planets through -

they have come up with some wonderful things over the years - but, they have some totally horrible things that they just haven't cleaned up and they have not just lived with them - but, they have accepted them and enhanced them (interestingly enough - some of their best ideas, they just forgot about and other nations have taken them and used them)

their lobbying system --------------------- who, in their right mind would build such a system? - ditto this current thing --------- what a total disgrace this is - overall _ I don't mean what the Republicans are doing - what they are doing is just showing us how rotten their system is
we don't have to know how bad Republicans are - that's already clear

it's the system that needs fixing ----------human nature doesn't change

once you have a better system - we can all sit down and agree to accept it for a while - until we feel like another war - then, we just walk from the agreement

it's what we do

I agree

the judiciary in the US is an "independent" branch of government

hence why judges, district attorneys etc. are elected (either directly or by delegates)

and in this instance they automatically become political

the British system of judicial appointments we have in Australia is much better
