From the it has to happen but never will file.
The United States will never have an independent #SCOTUS unless it scraps the current court and justices and starts a new with a non-political appointment process and new justices. I might suggest a process similar to this.
@the5thColumnist but that's just political with more steps.
And there are good reasons not to turn the appointments to that vital Court over to an unaccountable, pseudogovernmental, undemocratic organization.
The current process as designed is actually pretty good. It's just that we don't really execute all of the design features, as most of the country doesn't seem to know how it works, so they don't hold the functionaries accountable for doing it right.
Let's try better civics education first.
@the5thColumnist but the US operates under a completely different governmental structure from Canada.
They're not very comparable.
Which is why "The political and judicial culture the courts operate in is probably just as important,"
@volkris
The political and judicial culture the courts operate in is probably just as important, Canada having a tradition of judicial independence from the political process.
