  1. "Used to investigate Bill Clinton's WhiteWater real estate deals which eventually turned into an investigation over his affair with Monica Lewinsky" Talking about a prosecutor going on a fishing expedition. Bill Clinton's impeachment over this is another prime example of Republican hypocrisy. Because you don't hear them about an actual, adjudicated, rapist, but they were oh so ready to condemn Bill for some consensual playing around. And as there was no physical contact between the two, I still agree with Bill that "he never had s3x with that woman". And it certainly does not qualify as a "high crime or misdemeanor".

  2. The main problem with the USA is how it appoints its judges. Because judges are appointed by politicians, they become political appointments and vulnerable to partizanship. In my country, judges are selected by other judges. They are appointed by the King, who is a-political. For high-court judges, the government picks someone from a shortlist drawn up by the existing high-court judges. And it is really easy to get a partizan or in any other way biased judge from a case. Also, the authority of SCOTUS should be curbed. It should not be possible for SCOTUS to change the Law after it has been signed by the President. Their role in judging whether a law is Constitutional should be performed before that signing. That is how it is done in my country: we have an advisory body comprised mainly of (former) judges and scholars, with a staff of almost 700 people, that check every new law. Their advice is followed in the vast majority of cases. The current US system makes it unclear what exactly the Law of the Land is, SCOTUS can change it on a whim. That is extremely bad governance.
