Recent polling released by NBC News shows that only 22% of Americans have confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court. In the wake of that growing unpopularity, a new proposal in Congress would amend the Constitution to impose 18-year term limits on Supreme Court justices. Democratic Rep. Johnny Olszewski of Maryland joins "The Takeout" to discuss.
RCV is huge step forward compared to the current FPTP, but given the amount of power wielded by corps and foreign groups it follows that they’ll still try to tilt the ballot in their favor, they’ll just have to donate/bribe more than one or two candidates each election.
I think we need to move on to a system where the congress is comprised of volunteer citizens selected by random lottery. That is more likely to create a congress that evenly represents the populace, whereas candidates in an RCV ballot are still likely to be overemphasized/propagandized by the media and rich donors.
That said, this is just an off-the-cuff hot take by me. I’m not an expert by any means, just another frustrated and jaded citizen.
