How Trump and McConnell are changing the country for a generation.
Become a Video Lab member! bit.ly/video-lab
President Donald Trump is building his longest-lasting legacy in a place that’s often overlooked: the federal courts. It’s not just the Supreme Court that’s important - it hears less than 100 cases a year - his impact is being seen in places like the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
This court has stopped many of Trump’s most controversial executive orders: the travel ban, emergency funding for a border wall. But this historically liberal court won’t look very liberal at the end of Trump’s first term.

Why are judges appointed by political parties???? Should be an indipendent panel that promotes good judges and not partisan judges.

@LemonadepieX 4 года назад

Some states have an independent commission where they recommend judicial nominees to the governor.

Political appointment of judges is the root of the problem

@mbevks 4 года назад

@robertjarman3703 4 года назад

@@mbevks That is one particular form of a commission form of appointment. There are many different types that involve many different actors. And also, Kansas doesn't tend to have much political power sharing, where a legislature typically has an opposing governor. The US often does have the senate on the opposite side of a president, which would lead to power sharing normally but not in this case.

@mbevks 4 года назад

@@robertjarman3703 Kansas essentially has three political parties: Democrats, Liberal "Moderate" Republicans, and Conservative Republicans. The moderates will coalition with conservatives or Democrats, depending on the issue and usually win the day. In our history, we've only have one conservative governor. The last election conservatives won the legislature and Democrats the governorship. There is rarely a circumstance where there is not a power sharing situation.

@thomas.d.peterson 3 года назад

No, the mainstream's representation of the judicial system is the root of the problem. These judges have to represent their opinions based on their legal expertise, you can hardly call a justice liberal or conservative. They both have to base their opinions off of historical precedent and the constitution and uphold the law. Some of them have originalist view points, other have expansionist viewpoints, but they have to make a decision supported by the law in the constitution and law created by the lawmakers in congress.

@johnhakim457 3 года назад

This video is so dishonest senatorial consent only applies to federal district courts not the federal circuit courts. Senators can reject appointments from the president for District courts because they apply to only their state. They can’t reject appointments from the president for circuit courts because it applies to more than one state. In other words senatorial consent does not apply to circuit courts because you can’t have a senator from another state rejecting an appointment for the circuit because it covers a multitude of states.

@roxyraccoon8856 4 года назад

No, FDR was elected as President 4 Times (he died soon after the 4th election). If you are elected by the people 4 times, you're going to have a chance to nominate a great many Federal Judges. FDR's elections were a direct result of the Gilded Age leaving people in poverty without reason. All that money yet people were living in ramshackle Hooverville's, named after the President who let them down. FDR was famously blocked by the Supreme Court many times while trying to pass New Deal legislation that created a strong Middle Class for the 1st time in the nation's history. FDR also tried to pass a 2nd Bill of Rights for the people and I recommend that people research that.

15-20 year term limits on justices on all courts would keep the courts relevant to each generation

@colehickerson5864 4 года назад

McMatthew99 Have you read Federalist 78?

@robertjarman3703 4 года назад

That is a big problem for the independence of the judiciary if the judges have the possibility of reappointment. At least in most states that use a term limit like this, it is the voters themselves who decide whether to reelect or retain a judge, not politicians. But if a set term is used for other judges and they can be retained or rejected later by politicians, they will be making rulings friendly to politicians who can help them get reappointed. Independent officers need a non renewable term if they are appointed for fixed terms unless the basis for their reappointment is made independent. A minimum age for judges and a retirement age such as 65 or 70 would be able to limit some of this problem, and non renewable terms for the highest court of a country is a widely used practice, from the 6 year term in South Korea, to 9 years in many European countries like France, to 12 years in places like Germany and South Africa (though the latter allows for terms up to 15 years if doing so would allow a judge to retire with 15 years total in their judicial service to get a pension) and their constitutional court, and they are well respected by judicial philosophers.

@hazelstritt7848 4 года назад

Such a fascinating explanation. I was really wondering: so is it only a political, and not a legal, convention that the support of the home-state senators be required? In Britain we have tons of political conventions that it would be unconstitutional but not illegal to ignore. For example if the Queen refused to give royal assent to a new law. Is it something similar here?

Strict constructionists should be the only judges on the courts, if there is a ground swell to change something in the law, there is a procedure to do just that called the amendment process to the constitution and judges cant stop that from happening which is exactly how it should be. The fact that we have judges on the courts differing from each other in opinions on the law is the injustice people feel and this causes the courts to become politicized.
