Today I learned that, since April, the Supreme Court of the United States has sided with Trump in all 15 rulings it has issued on the President’s emergency requests. Of those 15 rulings, the court has only written 3 majority opinions. 7 have come with no explanation at all.
I don’t have to convince anyone here of what’s going on in America, obvs. I just wanted to share because this fact surprised me. I didn’t realize that they weren’t even justifying their decisions, which normally they do.
Here in Switzerland, the parties in power choose the judges. That works because we have like 10 strong parties and many small ones.
After researching, I found, that the choice of judges isn’t that good in Switzerland either and even too complex to understand for me 😂 guess I had that wrong in mind… It seems to ultimately work on trust, empathy and ethics of individual people 🧐🤔
