Spot on. Severely underrated.

been saying this for years. such a good channel and hope they get more attention

Yep. That’s the case in Aus. No surprise there. Our parliament is never to interfere with the courts. I don’t think it ever has or has been suspect to.. but I’ve not researched that.

@@StevieCooper I think it might date back to James 1st (I think - I can't remember properly( but he stormed in to Parliment hoping to sway opinion and arrest those who oppossd him and they decided to behead him for infringing on the vox populi. The parliament of the people (house of commons) is separate to the House of Lords (birthright) which are both separate from the monarch? I know that on the opening of parliament the Queen cannot step into the house of commons because we value to separation between the monarchy and the choice of the people as separate and just in their own right, which is why the opening of parliament is conducted in the house of Lords Chambers (bc the Queen shares the same birth right to sit on the throne). The Queen holds no public political stance, for that reason to - she cannot be seen to favour or disparage based on political viewpoint, because that is actively encouraging what the UK is against - authoritarianism/absolute monarchy. I think the Queen plays more of a "role" nowadays, we could abolish the monarchy: but I think because we are raised in a society of traditions, it difficult to accept. I am in no way supportive if the monarchy, but it's difficult to imagine the UK and its territories without one? It may be that we share similar views because Australia was once a colony - I just hope that every colony is offered the opportunity for independence, though - a lot of tax havens are "independent"(/ly owned by the UK) which is how we managed to currate the euro dollar after the poverty of WW1 and WW2

@@StevieCooper it's also why the Black Rod gets the door slammed in their face upon the sussesion of parliament- to remind the Queen, the people and her representatives that they are not welcome to share opinion or speak on the matter decided in the House

@@illeatthat funny and interesting traditions. Our countries aren’t perfect and have hurt a lot of people in the past for various reasons. However, I’m glad I’m part and was born into The Commonwealth now rather than the US.

@@illeatthat Charles I did that, that moment caused the Civil War which ended in him losing his head.

An unelected institution to select justices? What could have gone wrong! The reason you know more US Supreme Court judges than those in any other country means the US justice system works the best, is the most attractive, and you are comparing US justice system with heaven instead of any useful example.

@@alexanderchenf1 LOL sure bud

@@nada55666 of course. You can’t even elaborate on your Canadian justice system and you are pontificating on American one that you know little of.

Yeah but who selects the advisory board. It’s all partisan and all politics people will get there way and the same fights will happen dude. Obviously conservatives and liberals want conservative and liberal judges and will do whatever they can to bring victory for their constituents

none of them were drug through the mud quite like kavanaugh tho

Because the constitution can be interpreted many different ways

But diversity has a way bigger in merit in politics. We need people from different views and backgrounds to make our republic work

How do you determine the most qualified person in something as subjective as applying the law? It's not like being a pilot where there's objective ways to determine skills. I'd actually argue that diversity is a very important factor in being a judge in the Supreme Court. It can help bring a different perspective, which is useful.

Because of racism the BEST have not been considered for many centuries. “Diversity” is how we got Dr. Ben Carson. Once upon a time Black doctors weren’t even considered for hire let alone earning a degree. Dr. Ben Carson would go on to be the first surgeon to successfully separate twins conjoined at the head.. and he did it twice.
