Since the press, which is supposed to uncover shady “doings” by political aspirants, is not doing its job, We the People (voters) need help - BIs would be a great start.
What is your solution?
Where do the BI investigators & adjudicators sit in the three branches of government?
They would have enormous power!
How do you appoint them? Are they permanent?
Who pays them? (They civil service workers?) Who watches them?
You would be creating a non-constitutional based 4th branch of government. A sort of super-executive branch!
To me all this does is move the problem up a level and create another potential layer for corruption.
The only “workable” solution that does the least violence to the Constitution is the voters. And yes they suck at it!
Something’s aren’t solvable in any efficient fair manner.
Someone said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
Its true!
