Maybe not always, but there are plenty of senators who are fundamentally there for life (McConnell).

This also means theres a lower chance for those who truly can’t be bought, because running a nationwide campaign is expensive. They will all need money–most of it from corporate. Could you imagine Citizens United being decided by an elected court?

The one advantage would be that the court would more rapidly match the public’s views, and not take decades to move along with the country… But we still elected a raving lunatic like trump.

I think Bidens proposals strike a reasonable balance; a 5-7 year elected term I fear forces more money into the equation and doesn’t give any opportunity to fix the thing.

Which makes them incapable of being bought? Look at any senator you care to.

Kagen, Sotomayor, Coney Barrett.

Just depends how unique the persons name is. Nobody called Janet Reno just plain old Janet.

I’m not sure how you just build a pool that doesn’t leak and can hold the weight of the water…

There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.

Noted exceptions being if it’s not a massive bolus of people trying to leave or also if the walk side is fully saturated with walkers.

Thanks for sharing your observations. All I had to go on was every former military person I knew was hard core trump in 2016… Talking about they were voting for him because they knew what leadership looked like.

Wasn’t stateside for 2020 so I didn’t have any exposure to these types.
