You simply got to take the politics out of the courts like we do in Europe In the UK Judges are appointed on merit (ie essentially promoted from a lower position) by independent judicial appointments commissions. The candidates’ political views count for nothing, thank goodness, and are often not even known. The judiciary should keep out of politics - separation of powers, being impartial and all that. a Judges job should be to administer the law fairly, not to influence or support party dogma. questions like Roe v. Wade and The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act should be put to the people in the form of a referendum without the usual Republican spin , the Judges then can just administer the law

[@jmb3608]

Agreed. I’m French, and even though the system is far from perfect, it is much better than in the States. This is why we can see former presidents and powerful politicians be prosecuted, indicted and sentenced to prison time (who of course appeal … ;-) and cry “witch hunt!”).

[@hus390]

You can't take politics out of the court because our stupid court system was ruined early on by a case called (Marbery v Madison) which the court attributed to it self a power to review Congress. While in UK, Parliamentary sovereignty means your courts are limited to interpreting laws passed by Parliament only. The lifetime appointments would not have been given if it constitutional review powers were bestowed to courts. ▪️As for Justice Thomas, he's a very principled judge. ▪️ ▪️👉🏿 He doesn't talk or care about his wife's political involvement.

Understanding he must , at the least, been aware of her political leanings he owed it to himself and all of us to take the minimal action of refusing himself .
