    Maybe the solution is to also run Justice confirmations through the house?

    Originally I might have agreed with you. But now what ends up happening is presidents put in as radical of a justice as they can afford to in order to affirm their agenda for years to come. I think we have continuously seen that the SCOTUS is even more partisan than Congress. Perhaps a comparison to state supreme courts could help us evaluate this? I know in my home state of WV our Supreme Court just saw all of the justices removed for corruption. Granted they did commit that corruption, but at least they were removed right?

    The SCOUTS seriously needs to be held accountable for its blatant partisanship. Nobody else effectively creates and dismantles federal laws without being elected so why should they not be elected?...

    The SCOUTS seriously needs to be held accountable for its blatant partisanship. Nobody else effectively creates and dismantles federal laws without being elected so why should they not be elected? Or at the very least they should have to win a majority vote to be approved. If I were able I would propose a bill that removes the justices three per four years, rotating through them. Then each justice would have a 12-year term instead of sitting on the bench forever making Partisan decisions. What are you guys' thoughts on the power of the SCOTUS?

    I'll tell you what, I was very surprised how much I liked Inslee. His pro-green and pro-worker policy was very appealing to me.

    Highlight of the night had to be when Gabbard went off on Ryan about how we don't need to be in Afganistan any longer. It blows my mind to think there are people out there that think they can win the ticket when they are preaching for us to continue the endless war.

    Lowlight of the night had to be when Booker spoke Spanish. When O'Rurke spoke it at first it was neat and genuine, but as he went on it just felt kinda awkward to watch. When Booker tried to follow it up AND stammered the first few words it felt like obvious pandering.

    Ugh. This actually made my stomach churn as I read it. How in the world did this get normalized? What caused people to think this was a practice that ever would be acceptable? Edit: churn not chortle

    That's interesting. I never really thought about sites like hacker news. In fact, I've never even heard of the site. What's the issue there?

    It's not about maturity. Immaturity can be fun and innocent enough. It's toxicity. I swear everybody in Reddit is always trying to make a snappy quip lol.

    Yeah. This seems pretty nice and I quite like the minimalist UI. Reddit dying is making me sad though.

    Thanks. Always nice to receive a warm welcome instead of a complaint about another "New youtube viewing Redditor" joining or something like that.

    Hey guys I'm a new account here just wondering what brought everybody here. I'm sure this has been asked to death but I'm quite curious.

    I'm originally a redditor, as I think all of us are, and I came here hoping to escape the growing toxicity of reddit and also to help developers a new community. I also personally believe reddit is making anti consumer choices as of recent and want to move to a nonprofit site such as this one.
