Another reason why we need to stop electing and appointing our great-grandparents to important positions. And here is what will happen with Trump now:

Anyone think this will affect Trump being indicted for his document mishandling? I sure as hell think that it will be discussed, which means yes, it will make a difference. |

A lack of oversight and accountability leads to poorly performing systems, no matter what the level? You don't say!
Which sums up far too many problems in the US right now. |

This is only a problem if Liberal judges do it.

Unfortunately true, I think. It will stay an editorial problem and not a fatal one, as long as a significant portion of our political leadership, as it does now, openly and arrogantly endorses criminal misconduct and openly and arrogantly announces its intention to protect it.

The irony about this is there is zero reason for them to be secretive in the first place. It's a self-imposed thing that is meant to let them work in the shadows and maintain the illusion that their reasoning is somehow abstractly objective. It's hard to maintain that "handed down from on high" gravitas when when there is a record of them bickering and horse trading over things. Not to mention making corruption harder to conceal.
A world where their conferences, communications and internal memorandums are in the public record and all of their opinions circulated for public comment is a better world. |
