The United States is broken. The checks and balances are no longer checking nor balanced. The executive branch has taken over the role of the legislative, mostly by unelected bureaucrats issuing ever more complex and encompassing rules, with no votes. The legislative doesn't write the laws, the lobbyists do. The judicial is crippled, and this particular part is the new and innovative part I have an idea for. In order for the judicial to help return the power to the people, to fix the myriad wrongs, it can't act on its own. Here's what it often takes for the Judicial to try and bring balance and protect the constitution from the other two branches. 1. An ideal plaintiff to bring a case. 2. An ideal case to be heard. 3. The court to accept the case. 4. A very expensive law firm to argue the case. 5. Money to pay said expensive firm. The legislative and executive need none of those things, which is why they've run rampant (particularly the executive.) So my idea. Funding, and a mechanism by which the judicial might try and restore some balance and some constitutionality to the republic, by acting on its own, without needing an ideal plaintiff, ideal case, and lots of funding for a law firm. One could also say judges are underpaid by the way. And these problems aren't unique to the United States. I'm pretty tired of posting about the relentless violations of our rights, mass surveillance, violations to the right to assembly, the freedom of press, unreasonable searches and seizures, cruel and unusual punishments... What did you think always making more rules and regulations and laws forever would result in? New rights never appear, the only get shrunk, the shrinkflation of your rights. More restrictions always, more freedoms never. It only leads one direction. There so much profit for so many private interests in destroying your freedoms, and so little private profits in actually respecting your god given freedom. TLDR: Checks and balances aren't checking and balancing. The judicial branch needs a boost and some kind of funding and ability to act without an ideal plaintiff and case and private law firm could be just the ticket. Heck, just the funding alone could do the trick, as you could fine more ideal cases and plaintiffs and pay those lawyer bills, without needing to do much else, but for authorize the funding. The same people that grant the cases a right to a trial could be the people that also authorize funding from a legislatively approved fund. Short of this, I don't really know how to solve much of governments problems, and their citizens being harmed by them, it seems like the legislative route is too captured by special interests to be affordable to try and fix things? Anyway, at least it's an idea that could work, that I haven't heard before.
