The Supreme Court’s Power Is Fake

Yes finally omfg all of it is fake I'm so happy to see this video title

I knew this was bunk the moment I learned about it in school. I kept wondering, ‘But what if there are corrupt people in the roles who entrench themselves?’
The explanation I was given: Not being subject to elections means the justices can be impartial.
My first thought: ‘What if they aren’t impartial?’

Also. I'm confused about kikoff. From what little detail you describe, it sounds like they are effectively a service you pay to increase your credit score. While I could see that being a heck of a lot more reliable and inexpensive than having access to a credit card, at the same time it kinda seems like a shakedown scheme. If everyone can simply pay to get better credit doesn't that risk a future in which only the rich can afford to have good credit? Isn't the whole point of credit for less rich people to be able to get loans by proving they can be responsible with their money? But you can now just pay someone off to say you're good with money, because, I guess, you had enough money to pay them off?

Leeja, I see Hyperpolitics on your desk, great read! Blakely's also brief book Lost in Ideology goes well with it

This is because Money has always been Power for as long as money and power have both existed. That's why 90% of politics is economics to begin with.

What needs to occur is a separation of Money from Power, a divorce between the two, and this can only happen through a redefinition of power. We do not confer POWER on our elected representatives or executive agents, we CHARGE them with RESPONSIBILITY to carry out our will. Somewhere along the way American government forgot that basic principle, or else we'd have responsibility shifting from hand to hand far more frequently than it has been. We need public officials to be able to call for a regional or national plebiscite to hear the direct voice of the people in certain matters, and to call for a vote of no confidence in cases where a representative or an executive agent is acting in contravention to their mandate of responsibility as conferred upon them by their people. But because what we have is a system where currency equals voting power, we have an aristocracy of unaccountable billionaires and even one trillionaire as a veritable king over all the world.

And suddenly we're all sympathising with the French peasantry of the 1790s, in that there is a genuine sense of frustration that no force of law can turn this around and give people back their power, that we must once again remind the nobility what "consent of the governed" ultimately means once every other recourse has been expended.

I like your necklace

thank you for always wearing a different shirt during ad reads

Voting should not be the only peaceful power we have left to make changes. We're dangerously close to relying on bullets instead of speech.

Well, you got quite a few things wrong in all this slop.

You would love it if you held the majority in the SCOTUS.
