Various reforms of #SupremeCourt —court expansion, #termlimits, court balancing, and #ethics reform. All of these accept premise that #SCOTUS should keep its power over #elected branches of #government. These reforms R focused on forcing court 2 use #power more fairly, more justly, w less #corruption. While those R noble goals, underlying premise is flawed. Instead of reforming how Supreme Court uses its #power, what if we took its power away? #democracy #courts #maga https://www.thenation.com/podcast/society/contempt-court-jurisdiction-stripping/

"In comments to The Times last month, #Menday said: “I am not #antisemitic nor do I have any #Nazi sympathies.
“I have flirted with what could reasonably be referred to as ‘#farright ideology’ but ultimately I have come to reject its core tenets.”
However, #ReformUK confirmed on Wednesday that “Councillor Menday has been suspended from Reform UK pending investigation after he failed to declare #socialmedia posts which have brought the party into disrepute.
“Reform UK does not support such comments.”
The suspension comes as several other of the party’s newly #elected councillors have left, after revelations regarding highly disturbing social media posts."

LA yesterday, AL today. They're asking the #SupremeCourt to help them; they will.
They are literally admitting, their party plans to prevent brown people from getting #elected or from #voting.
If #Congress does not act, this will be generational. The GOP could control the House for decades.

Okay, if you insist @[email protected], I'll go ahead & be the best today, but it can be a rotating assigned role just like #elected positions should actually be. Training is required through school, but then if you want to actually #serve the public you have to go into advanced training.

I wrote my #elected #representatives about preventing #nuclear #war today and so should you!!

One of the problems with #American pseudo-democracy is that it's a #gerontocracy - rule by the old. The average #Congresscritter is late-middle-age, and the average #Senator is dead. Young people are frustrated at their lack of voice.
#Canada isn't nearly as bad, but I fear it could trend in the same direction, so I've been thinking about solutions to the problem. I think I've got one that's better than the oft-floated fix of just imposing term limits on #elected office, because you'll probably still be first electing middle-aged people.
Instead, for each chamber, set a ceiling *average* age for members of that chamber. Maybe for the Canadian House of #Commons and the US House of #Representatives you want something like 40, while permitting the #Senate of each to be the "older, wiser house of sober second thought" by setting a number like 50.
Each day, the system automatically calculates the average age of members in that class, to account for birthdays etc. If birthday(s) suddenly push that average above the ceiling value, the oldest person in that class is automatically dismissed, leaving the position vacant to be filled by by-election / special election. Repeat until ceiling value achieved.
Here's the important bit: anyone turfed automatically this way does not receive a pension or other benefits; they're just gone. This gives them the incentive to resign before automatic expulsion; otherwise there's no reason for them to do so.

Our #ukgovernment has been #corrupt at least since the times of Pepys. Half the ships used for hulks on the thames were rotten though sold as good quality.
#outsourcing corruption then was the same as for #ppi recently
The #corruption will continue to worsen while we have this medieval and #archaic house of #lords. The house of #commons is at least #elected, even though many of the #members are abject liars and are probably worse thieves than dick turpin ever was. #ukpol

That person appears confused, between the extreme definition of #socialism that may tend towards #communism, and what most of us, I believe, would wish for.
It doesn’t take much to confuse him (or me actually!)
Most of us, I believe, wish for #Democracy that has #SocialValues that is: the #elected actually care about, and for, the #people that elected them. I / We often loosely refer to this as Socialist.
That is not Communism.
