The USA can learn a LOT from other democracies.
There are several fundamental errors in the way Justice is done in the USA, starting with the election of Prosecutors, and the appointment of Judges by politicians. These have broken the Separation of Powers in the USA.
Additionally, several important mechanisms / rules are simply not enforced. Most importantly, the Obstruction of Justice rules. In a real democracy, no politician comments on an ongoing case, because to do so would be Obstruction of Justice. The recent antics of Johnson calling the prosecution of Trump into question, should land him in prison VERY quickly if that Law were upheld. That is again an failure to properly Separate the Powers of government.
Same with the way government officials treat summons to appear before a Congressional committee. Refusing to testify, in my country, means immediate imprisonment up to such a time that that person is prepared to testify. Which is again a failure to Separate the Powers of government.
The USA has been sliding towards dictatorship, where the Executive is all-powerful, for some time now. Time to stop it.
