For me, it mainly undermined my trust in the Supreme Court. I’d already lost trust in congress and the presidency. Now I have lost trust in all three branches of government. Complete corruption across the board.
- kube-system 4y agoPower didn't start corrupting people yesterday. That sentiment is pretty much the entire reason why the US government was designed to have three branches that checks and balance each other. You don't need to trust anyone in particular if you can trust the process.
- irrational 4y agoWell, I no longer trust the process. That was the basic meaning behind everyone is corrupt.
- kube-system 4y agoI understand, i’m saying I don’t think it’s reasonable to make that jump. The process has design features to specifically allow it to function even when run by corrupt people. That was the entire point, since the beginning.
- LarryMullins 4y agoSCOTUS is the least democratic of the three branches of government. Trust in SCOTUS hardly qualifies as trust in "democracy" at all. Unless I guess you're using "democracy" in a sense that is synonymous with all aspects of American government, which would be a mistake.
