Mexico wants to make its Supreme court selection more democratic, by justices being elected rather than appointed
Mexico freezes relations with US and Canada over Supreme Court reform criticism
- Thread starter Seoul Gleou
- Start date
Nothing, it's just that you can't buy the court through the politicians appointing the judge. I bet that's why
You can buy judges in elections through campaign donations. I think the US needs to make its own judicial reforms, but I doubt it with this Congress.

~600k dead in the war's latest phase, an official probably got got while you were typing that sentence
edit: 175k killed and 43k missing just during amlo's tenure, and those figures were cooked to begin with
Is the Mexican government hiding how many people have gone missing?
Critics say the government of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is trying to downplay how people have disappeared in recent years.

The outgoing president said he would tackle gangs with ‘hugs not bullets’. Five years on, violence is worse than ever

More information needed. Term limits? How many judges getting voted at a time? RCV or 51%? What qualifies you to be a judge or justice?
It's a lot of Mexicans in Canada these days. Diplomatic spats slow down migration

Mexico is a country with a lot of potential.
If border states turn blue and legalize/decriminalize weed and access Healthcare funding from the federal government, it will cut into cartel profits.
If Mexican states do the same thing, that eats into the profits as well. What happens next is that you draft a bilateral security bill to empower police to go after the most heavily armed cartels.
Elected court officials is a concern because they assume the cartels can fund judges who will be friendly to them. But if we are going to go there, then you could argue that a bought politician appointing a handpicked lawyer pre-approved by the cartels is just as bad if not worse.

600k in the drug war? that's insane~600k dead in the war's latest phase, an official probably got got while you were typing that sentence
the justices become beholden to voters more than the spirit of the law. this is how you have a judge in america ruling that breyonna tayors husband defending the house from unannounced men intruding as the reason for her death not the bullet from the cop who fired the shot unannounced and from bad information. fukk the crokkked demons in power
Nothing. If anything is slows down corruption and cronyism.
Only thing I can think of is that decentralizing the process would be less time and cost effective. But even that plateaus over time
The concern is elected judges doing what's popular or supported by their campaign donors vs what is the letter of the law.
