  • Should There Be a Supreme Court? Its Role Has Always Been Anti-Democratic

  • "Vested interests create “checks and balances” primarily to make political systems non-responsive to demands for social reform.".

    It is thanks to checks and balances that we don't currently have a dictator Trump running this country. Anyone who thinks checks and balances are a bad idea need only take a cursory glance at the world over the past few years to realize we would be far worse off without them. From Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil to Boris Johnson in the UK, would be autocrats were thwarted in their quest to remain in office by these same checks and balances.
