Isn't the glass house thing a Christian proverb? I'm not a theologist, but im fairly certain it's something related to Christianity. To think that posting a youtube comment that's perfectly justifiable given the context is "silencing" anyone, and also perfectly reasonable that the OP is not talking about the justices who voted in accordance with the law, so again, you've been caught in the hypocrite box. I'm really not trying to be a wiseass and didn't expect you to be in the next comment down, but you're proving the point i made in the other comment thread by doubling down on your emotion vs logic argument while failing to meet your own standards, which is exactly what Christianity is known for in these times, and why people are so down on it. Not to mention that we're watching the country we've lived in all our lives get torn down by people who proudly claim themselves to be christians and motivated by their faith. Clean your own house, for the sake of your own religion. I've got nothing personally against anyone who follows a religion as long as they actually follow it, instead of rationalizing the bad stuff and refusing to accept the realities of what is, has , and will be done in the name of Christ. It's not JUST a christian thing, but in the US, Christianity certainly has loved to tell people what to do for my entire 39.25 years on this planet, what to watch on tv, what to listen to on the radio, who people should love, now they're just straight up pretending the 1st amendment doesn't say exactly what it says.

Thank you Harry! It's very interesting to hear a factual analysis without poiitical perspectives! As a Finn I can never learn to accept this extremely politicised judiciary!

We have learned from Hungary that this must be secured even in the Constitution, not only in regular laws and rules!

[@peterritchie2990]

From Canada: My best estimate is that maybe, at most, about 1% of Canadians know the name of any judges from the top court of Canada, the Supreme Court. The reason for this is that Canadian courts, for the very most part - there are a few exceptions - decide questions of law and not widespread social policy. Every judge in Canada is appointed. We don’t elect any. We don’t have judicial corruption where a deciding judge is “entertained” by a litigant. We don’t have highly politicized judges. We have term limits. We, thankfully, have a suitably boring judiciary and if a judge does something highly inappropriate to his privileged position we expect an honourable resignation promptly.

Don't count on it. The US Education System is laughable. People actually graduate high school and can't even read. G. Bush gave us "no child left behind," which mandated nothing but multiple choice testing and teaching for the test. Most Americans cannot think critically. That's why a good portion are in Drumpf's cult.

As a recovering Catholic (but a fan of Pope Francis), I hasten to point out not all Catholics are conservative!! Far from it, especially in America, where there is a solid history of social-minded Catholic leaders and practitioners who support the working class. Case in point: Dorothy Day, journalist and social activist who founded the Catholic worker movement and a newspaper of the same name. Too bad Amy Coney Barrett neglected to learn about her.

Having ideological judges is bad enough.

But partisan judges? Thats destructive to any kind of justice, when u can just "shop" for forums, where u can be assured verdicts based on political partisanship.
