There is no question that political appointments to "the bench" run counter to the wider public interest ! By definition politicians propelling hasty appointments have shown that distinct bias ! It is often said "every man has a price" & politicians will pay any "price" to gain a "favourable" judge !

When a, largely, fine nation of people , like Germany can be swayed any nation can so be. US politics driven by ruthless, dishonest, selfish. bastards can equally be capable of driving disastrous outcomes. Trump and his devious cohorts will "dance to the tune" dictated by these vested interests too !

Welcome to the New Legitimation Crisis: Bernie Sanders vs. the Plutocrats | Common Dreams Views The US is at a pivotal point & a lot of the initiative for change has been as a result of the actions of the young !

Opinion | Welcome to the New Legitimation Crisis: Bernie Sanders vs. the Plutocrats

In these dangerous times, we might be pardoned for finding comic relief in the spectacles that are constantly playing out, as our uncomprehending ruling class stages displays of its own rank incompetence, its unfitness to govern. We might be excused for mocking the emperor's new clothes.

Can We Rebuild the Country After Trump? - Yes! Magazine - Sadly, the US system is so badly discredited & so damaged "across the board" it's hard to see how a fair & honest democratic system could ever "arise from such ashes". Vested interests & money rules the US , blatant liars & cheats have been "normalised", even their legal system is tainted by political appointments for life ! What hope honest government with all that damage !

Death of a Supreme Court Justice Famed for Consensus-Building Is Used to Sow Divisions | Common Dreams Views The situation is crystal clear the Repubs are stacking the courts with their sycophants in life-long appointments to gain advantage. That makes a mockery of democracy ! The Repubs will ensure the most likely aspirant will 'bend their way" in any decision where they can "colour" the result ! Often the latitude exists in law for that pursuasion to be exerted as the Repubs are proving !!

They know Trump did it — they just don’t care – Alternet.org Rigged by the spineless, preferring connivance to accountability. Remember those names as they must hold responsibilities for any Trump action. He says he is above the law & with his erratic & myopic style there is no knowing where he will lead. Given his record he is like a "wild cannon" - with as little intelligence !!!

They know Trump did it -- they just don't care

So it has come to this, as we all knew it would. Republicans in the Senate have decided to hold a sham trial without witnesses or evidence. It’s not because they don’t want to hear the truth, it’s because they already know the truth. They know the president is guilty, and they simply don’t care.

"Americans expect and deserve a fully transparent impeachment trial... For the Senate to produce anything less would be a show of GOP contempt for the American people."
