Trump Cognitively Declines In Front Of The World During Meet With NATO Leader
During his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump started ranting about how horrible Joe Biden was and blamed Biden for his failure to stop the war like he promised.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Your position is like arguing that cigs don't kill you because your presently already dying of liver cancer right now.
Nope. My position is quite literally that we should limit the amount of cigarettes we smoke so we don't develop cancer.
Maybe a pack a week?
Or a single 12 year term for each Supreme Court justice?
As proof I've simply pointed to how we have completely failed to limit terms in the Supreme Court and now very much have fascist cancer because of it. (Supreme Court going full MAGA and ignoring due process).
You are making this much harder to understand than it needs to be.
Again you confuse cause and effect term limits could have easily meant justices losing their seats during Bush and Trump bringing about the same effect or worse. If we had gotten luckier or smarter with strategic resignation we could be talking about lifetime appointments keeping the judiciary independent from the president and protecting democracy.
If the people coming in are corrupt getting new corrupt people every term limit isn't going to make them less corrupt. It is the fact that lawmakers are so beholden to money to get and stay in office that leads to corruption in the first place. In your alternative America a lawmaker would be expecting to need somewhere to land after they hit the limit and would be more beholden to industry not less.
Wherein we successfully elect people who aren't beholden to money we needn't kick them out right after they learn the ropes if the people keep showing their confidence in them by voting them in.
Again you confuse cause and effect...
My friend. I am not confusing anything. However, you are very much confusing reality with fantasy and arguing as if that fantasy is real.
... term limits could have easily meant justices losing their seats during Bush and Trump bringing about the same effect or worse.
This is a hypothetical. You are arguing as if it is real. It is not. I could just as easily assume the opposite would be true. That term limits would have completely prevented this current situation of a 6-3 court. Because it unquestionably would have if the terms were short enough. So even if we were talking about theoreticals here, your outcome is much less likely and shouldn't be assumed as true.
If we had gotten luckier or smarter with strategic resignation...
Again. Another hypothetical to explain a clear shortcoming with a lack of term limits. We weren't lucky. At all.
Your comment is more an insight into how you are personally coping with what a lack of term limits have done to this country rather than a debate over their necessity.
I mean honestly, I think you are basically dillusional if you can't agree that the current Supreme Court has corruption there for life - and the only fix to prevent that happening is term limits.
we could be talking about lifetime appointments keeping the judiciary independent from the president and protecting democracy.
Literally this has now been proven to not work with lifetime appointments. Cause and effect has lead us to lifetime appointed judges working towards the interest of themselves rather than the people. We live in an absolutley unquestionable reality where lifetime appointments to the judiciary have directly caused that judiciary to no longer be Independant from the President. They literally ruled for Trump to be King while Biden was still in office ffs.
If you want to talk about cause and effect, how about we start in reality - do you think term limits would fix the current SC?
No because 6 out of 9 can pretend term limits are illegal if passed by law and a constitutional amendment that harms either sides power is practically impossiblle.
If implemented prior I think they would as likely have ended in a court as bad or worse
If implemented prior I think... ended in a court as bad or worse
I don't think that.
This whole collection of people supporting recent legislature to enact SC term limits doesn't think that either: https://fixthecourt.com/fix/term-limits/
If you want to think the contrary, go for it. I clearly think otherwise.
What happens when 6 of 9 tell you term limits aren't real exactly?
