Bizarre that US judges are so eager to cede their power to the white house.
Isn’t the whole point of an independent judiciary that they prevent dictatorial fascist turd children from declaring that they’re using a lawful power when it’s clear they’re not using the power within its lawful constraints?
What’s the point of writing restrictions into laws that grant executive power if the only check on the use of that power is the electorate who will assess every use of power in individual circumstances no matter the letter of the law?
Seems like a lazy answer. We don’t have actual evidence of bribery, and communist societies have also tended to be corrupt. The “price” might not be in non-existent money, but until we live in a post-scarcity society, there will always be stuff someone wants and doesn’t have.
Similarly this seems like it would explain literally any bad judgement ever. In that sense it’s a non-answer, similar to the non-answer of the religious - “god did it.” An answer that explains everything explains nothing.
In this particular case, a judge with fascist tendencies would, surely, be minded to hoard the power they do have, rather than abdicate it, even to a body that, for the time being, agrees with them. Right? That was exactly the thing which I said was bizarre. So in order for your elaboration to elaborate, you need to be able to say why it’s the bigoted tendency which wins over the fascist tendency.
This opinion is unsustainable, and I don’t know how you acquired it.
Remember that your point is that people would not be susceptible to bribery without capitalism. You think you couldn’t bribe someone with a bunch of cows in the first century? You think no-one had a lack of entertainment they could be bribed with?
Hitler was elected democratically and used his cronies in government to imbue himself and the state with all kinds of power. This is called a soft coup. These judges are also fascists, and don’t want an independent judiciary because their team is in power now; undermining their own office prevents opposition from using the levers of government against the regime and taking back control.
They lied to you about the balance of power bullshit. The whole point of the independent judiciary was to put a limit on democracy, not the presidency. Now that democracy is on the way out there’s no reason to continue to be independent.

When capitalism , everyone has a price

Okay, lemme elaborate then:
When racist, sexist, ageist, ableist, bigoted, fascist, everyone is a target.

Scarcity is the result of capitalism exploiting the planet and all its inhabitants
So there was no scarcity before the invention of capitalism? Not of any single thing?
Had capitalism never been instituted broadly, no person would want anything they didn’t have?
uh huh.
Nope,not at a global level and not because of a bunch of greedy idiots
