Thanks.

The other thought I have along such lines is that social issues generally would be better off being settled by plebescite votes than by judges who are not answerable to any political process. That would get rid of these insane wars over judicial appointments.

The basic problem is that pols no longer want to deal with social issues at all and actually prefer shunting them off to judges. In colonial times that wasn't the case since being a politician was not a profession but a short-term civic duty. A professional politician on the other hand figures that ANY vote he ever casts on such an issue is going to offend 45% of his electorate, and that any clumsy thing after that might have him out looking for another job.

What does the term Z-O-T mean?
