Why is the US supreme court so politicized (for lack of a better word?. Usually supreme courts are more anonymous bureaucratic institutions where a bunch of nerds figure out a common legal interpretation. People in other countries doesn't know the names of people on their supreme court.
Could it be a result of the rest of the US system being inefficient and incapable of making decisions, resulting in the political for the supreme court to step in?
Also, how should an institution live a supreme court work? They had them in AES countries as well but I know next to nothing about how they worked. I do know that the GDR supreme court allegedly struckdown the elevated age of consent for homosexual acts citing that homosexuality was a natural behaviour. This suggests that they had quite wide reins in interpreting the law.
It would be interesting to learn more about how socialist judicial systems has worked until now and use that to develop a vision for how it could work in the future.
It’s politicized in the us because presidents appoint justices for life, and a group called the federalist society led a multi decade effort to pack it with as many chudges possible, the most far right evangelical freaks, including through outright chicanery like refusing to seat merrick garland bc Obama was a lame duck, and amazingly rolled over on that.
This is why what Biden is saying is a dumb joke. The court is already packed. And bc the justices are young this will be the makeup for 30 years.
Of course that hallowed document, the us constipoopoo, makes no mention of the size of the court, these are all “norms”
At this point there’s only one way to get a balanced court back but liberals will never admit to it
