Repair of our Branches of Government, The Supreme Court
Most days when I think about the supreme Court a few things come to mind ways we can improve to not only make it more difficult or at the very last more expensive to bribe them, but as well to simply make it more efficient and have less concentration of power in one group at the top of the org chart. Personally, when it comes to organizing structures, I prefer flatter than pyramid structures, so power is distributed more amongst everyone rather than concentrated at the top. If all power is concentrated at the top, it becomes easier to control that power whether it be bribes extortion coercion or anything of that nature. the supreme Court would like to believe they're above all of that; recent reporting has shown that this is the case.
what are some steps we can do to help deregulate the concentration of power within the supreme court? I believe one of the first things we have to do is we have to increase the number of supreme Court judges too 13 to match the current number of circuit courts. This will allow them to manage all 13 circuits more efficiently distributing workloads. Having a supreme Court judge available for each circuit, if they need guidance, advice, or assistance in a particularly difficult case. It would also have the knock on benefit of increasing the amount of people the wealthy have to “encourage” through whatever means they decide to use, bribery, extortion. As these are just a few of the tactics the wealthy like to use to get judges to side with them, this is just something we can't allow as Americans.
on that note we come to our definition of bribery which unfortunately for us means we have to involve Congress in repairing our definitions. We used to have quite strict stringent definitions of bribery and what counted as it, but over the years the supreme Court has slowly eroded that because they're taking bribes to be frank. You can just look back at the reporting of Justice Thomas and others to see that they are actually legitimately taking bribes. the easiest way to avoid allegation of impropriety is just by making the definition so broad that impropriety is almost unperceivable under law. as Americans we have to force Congress to change our definitions of bribery to be some of the strictest in the world. our penalties cannot just be civil; They must be criminal . if you're not afraid of being locked up, one you’re fool, two if you already have been bribed millions of dollars a $10,000 fine is not going stop you in any meaningful way. It simply becomes a cost of doing business.
The third thing I'd like to address is judicial review for constitutionality, as it was merely an 1803 unconstitutional power grab that has granted the supreme Court for almost 200 years the ability to review law for constitutional violations. While I will you and grant you the point that reviewing law for constitutionality is something the judicial branch should be doing. I believe we have to one actually put it in the Constitution and we have to lay out the process deliberately for them. Because what the Constitution is essentially is a power vesting document, You can think of a power vesting document as a power of estate, where you have control over somebody's legal and other decisions this power can be misused or in most cases used to the benefit of those under it. The entire point of the Constitution isn't to allow the people in power to develop their own process as a supreme Court has over the past 200 years after its 1803 power grab. We The People are the ones who must demand and ensure that there is a legitimate process involved, whenever the supreme Court decides to arbitrarily pick up or ignore cases based on their own whims and nothing more than a shadow docket, this in itself is an opaque process and is naturally destabilizing to out democracy. In most cases you and I simply lack the ability to appeal things up to the supreme court level as the cost involved become much higher at the level, leaving it to be a playground of the wealthy.
Since 1970 or so The wealthiest in this country have been in an economic war with the American people, The middle class, the working class have been the targets. because they don't want to pay taxes, They don't want to invest in what made them rich in the first place America, and its people. to a large extent they've been using the legal system to control and curtail law. Critical Legal Studies (CLS): This is a radical theory that emerged in the 1970s. It argues that law is not neutral or objective but is a tool used by the powerful to maintain social hierarchies. It critiques law as a form of social control that perpetuates inequality. Warren Buffett confirmed in the early 2000 that the war existed and that we have been losing, a lot of people myself included before I started actually reading into legal theory and trying to understand more would have said it traces back to 1980s under Ronald Reagan but then if you start looking at church and graphs you see it dates back to around 1971.
After all the Republicans often remind me more of the Bolsheviks of Russia rather than the Nazis of Germany, Yes some of the actions and rhetoric are similar too Nazis, but the Bolsheviks also had the gulags which were just concentration camps That just worked people to death rather than just outright killing them. As well one must consider the rhetoric as they use the same kind of fake populism to top of the czars in Russia, The same lock them up attitude, The blood in the streets. We as Americans have a lot of work to do, ahead of us is a hard road. but our job is not insurmountable; our fates are not determined. if we stand up, we resist, we fight back, they lose. With that said murder is not acceptable, feel free to punch a Nazi, but leave it there. we can stop them. However, we must keep in mind violence on our side will only serve to help them even when they use violence against us. We can reverse this, We can fix it, they're going to fight us tooth and nail, they're going to use every trick in the book. I wouldn't be surprised if they start to try to lock us up to preserve their power.
