Ontario Premier Doug Ford lashed out Wednesday against “terrible, bleeding-heart” judges who he claimed are blocking the government’s agenda, musing that perhaps judges in Ontario should be elected so that they are more responsive to public sentiment.
John Oliver had a segment on how electing judges in the US is a shitshow, mainly because it forces an otherwise non-partisan job to align with a party and also forces them to spend more time campaigning and less time on their actually job.
And then when the other party is unhappy with some judge’s decision they go with “RADICAL DEMOCRAT JUDGE!”
I only see one party vocally usurping the rulings of judges so that they may steal that power fascistically.
