Stuff in the US is worse than I thought then...
The point of a republic with several powers and so on, wasn't to not allow someone have so much power?
Noone doubt the already cliche phrase that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
- smsm42 13y agoStuff in the US is worse than you thought because Chief Justice of Supreme Court has power to appoint judges on a security review panel? Who should appoint them so that you'd thing the things are better - the President (which is a politician)? The Congress - that created FISC and set the rules of appointment?
- speeder 13y agothe "who" must not be a single person. For example someone (maybe the chief justice anyway) appoint, but the congress has to approve it. Sometimes this is done even to make valid a vote by the population, and it works well (in Commonwealth countries, the Queen can not approve a election results if she wish so... fortunately this was never needed it seems).
