I never could grab my head around the fact that the US like... publicly accepts the partisanship of their SCOTUS. Its madness, plain and simple madness, that even the justiceses do not even try to appear as if they would found their rulings only in interpretation of constitutional law. But then again, so is voting for sheriffs and prosecuters and all that. The whole freaking executive and judicative branch should totally be off limits for any partisanship, with strong professional standards and literal rules and harsh sanctions when they are not met.

Republicans voting democratic won't work either. The democratic party is taking a turn to the left. They're basically the party of Reagan today. 5 years from now, they'll have far more in common with European concepts of liberalism than American concepts of liberalism. This is wonderful news if you're a liberal, but horrific news if you're a conservative. That means you have no representation in your own party. Republicans are philosophically incompatible with the governing ideologies of the left. They CAN NOT seek refuge here. They MUST take control of their own party. This will be true for so long as the US holds on to this apish first past the post system, instead of having proper electoral reform and moving to a proportional voting system. We fought the foundational war of our nation over the issue of representation. Liberal and conservative alike deserve a seat at the table.

Anything less than a lifetime appointment will bring into question the independence of the judiciary. Know that he/she could face a review could colour judgements toward those on the review board. Of course a removal process needs to be available in cases of obvious disability or criminality. Now to be seemingly contradictory: set terms followed by generous pensions and protection could work. Every judge has to be free of considerations for his/her financial and physical futures. Set terms means that judgements can't effect their careers, they know going in that it's X years and no amount of ass-kissing will extend it and no amount of pissing-people-off will decrease it. Guarranteed pensions and physical security to make it nearly impossible to bribe or threaten a judge. And limited terms to allow the SCOTUS to churn over to more closely match the churn of societal norms.

I was reminded that 15 years ago the climate scientists were very careful to point out, in every news story, that individual weather events were not to be taken as evidence of what was then called global warming. Nowadays that scientific caution has been thrown out the window, and individual events are either confirmation of climate change, or ignored completely. Science has left the building. A scorching hot day is evidence of global warming; a freezing cold day isn't noteworthy. Anyway he wasn't wrong about forest management practises building up a huge stockpile of fuel. Where I am in Western Canada right now my entire city is in the middle of a huge plume of smoke from a forest fire 100 miles west of here in the Rocky Mountains. There are no homes there, just wild alpine forest. Gigantic fires ignited by lightning are perfectly normal. You might be able to blame forest management practises, but then the environmentalists would have to share some of the blame, so we don't do that. But it is clear that when that mountainside eventually decides to burn there is no stopping it.

TofeldianSage Yeah, I'm not so sure about climate change having a hand in these fires; what he said about forest management is what I have always understood to be the cause. As far as climate vs. weather: the only reason we care about individual hot days/months is that they keep breaking high temperature records, and create an obvious trend, yes? Anyone who tries to pin any single weather event on climate change is being ignorant/silly; the overall trend towards hotter months, warmer oceans, and heavier/more frequent storms is the effect of climate change.

It's a random system and you might be leaving a period of unusually consistent measurements and entering a period of unusually eratic measurements. In that situation the peak values might be a measure of the volatility of the system, not it's average temperature. At any rate, if the peak analysis were ever to be useful you would need to consider peaks in both directions. It's like watching shot noise on an oscilloscope; the peaks and valleys are useful to understand how noisy a system is but it doesn't tell you anything about the underlying signal.

It isn't just the building in forests.. Someone decades ago had the bright idea to plant Eucalypts as a fast growing timber in California. Eucalypts have oils. If you look at a tree in summer you can see the oil haze around the tree. The oils have the ability to self-combust in dry extreme heat. California has a dry hot climate.

Although I actually wholeheartedly agree with the points on wildfires, I think the way climate change is defined here is deviant from our normal cultural understanding of it. As opposed to climate change, which is commonly understood to be weather and temperature related, I would call it the environmental impacts that urban development has on the scope and severity of wildfires. Just a thought :)

If our planet is naturally heating up, it seems like the worst thing we can do is adjust it. What he means to say is man made climate change. The reason they don't say man made is because they have no idea how much of climate change is man made. Climate deniers are not people who think the climate doesn't change, they are people who think we don't affect it or that we are not sure how much we affect it. Every climate change prediction for the last 30 years that has come to date has been wrong. They have less than 200 years of data on the climate and they want to try to understand a planet with a changing climate for millions of years. While I believe we affect the climate, i am still waiting for a report on how much. Honestly tho, simply maintenance could solve this problem. I was in California for the last fire and I remember before and after it. Before, the state was cutting back clearing brush. After, reports came out to show the fire did 1 billion dollars worth of damage when they only need 40 million to clear the brush. Its a penny smart dollar dumb.

EC was designed to give states a say in choosing the executive. When it was devised they did not anticipate political parties or general enfranchisement. Clearly from their writings, they expected a broad field of candidates and a modest pool of voters. Then, the dividing lines were North and South, Free and Slave, Commercial and Agricultural. And allegiance was owed first to one's home state and Union second. These conditions have largely vanished. Most people don't think of themselves as a citizen of their state first and American second. Women, blacks, and the poor are allowed to vote. The power we have vested in the President today is beyond the Founders' worst nightmares. He appoints a vast array of ministers, regulators, judges, and advisors who unilaterally set wide ranging policies for the whole country. The new division, for better or worse, is Red and Blue. Were EC to be abolished, those in Red states wouldn't necessarily be silenced. Their vote totals would factor into the PV. Those living in opposite states would also have their voice heard. The EC allows one to lose the PV and still win. That means, appointing judicial and regulatory authorities that will make rulings and policies that affect everyone. I would argue, in that light, the EC is immoral. Only a clear majority can make such a decision for the whole.

Lifetime appointments have as much place in modern society as electoral college.

Just because women are maybe, in general, better suited to take care of children that doesn't mean they can govern a country. In fact it could be quite the opposite. The traits that makes them caring and all can be counterproductive to this. You can see this pretty clearly in Germany and Sweden. To much compassion can become a problem.

Jeff Connors I’m in the UK. My country was never more divided than when led by women. In the 80s under Margaret Thatcher, the wealthy did fine while unemployment soared and communities in the north were ruined. Now we have Theresa May leading us through Brexit. I pity her, as nobody wants to take the country over what sensible observers know is an abyss. Ironically, our progressive party (Labour) has never been led by a woman. Meanwhile, Corbyn’s Labour is not well up in the polls. In fact, May is well ahead of him on personal ratings. Meanwhile, there is a woman who for several years kept May on the back foot, is credited with bringing down May’s successor as Home Secretary, and continues to humiliate the government in a way Corbyn doesn’t. Her name is Yvette Cooper. In the Labour leadership contest in 2015, she was well beaten by Corbyn because the party moved well to the left. Many in the Labour Party despise her for being too right wing. Others, myself included, think Labour would be over 10 points ahead if she was leader.

Colin Baker hey at least Theresa May isn’t part of UKIP though, right?

Adam's answer regarding the higher amount of deadwood in California forests is correct, but doesn't link to climate change at all. A more pointed example is in Colorado where higher average temperatures (presumably connected to climate change) has allowed the mountain pine beetle to thrive at higher altitudes, devastating forests, and immensely increasing the amount of dead wood which increases the severity of fires. It's one of the few great examples of the direct impact of climate change.

Why not just allow every president to appoint two judges, no cap on the amount of judges or terms on them, but only 2 per president and no replacing dead or retired judges anymore.

Ok those are exceptions but you can’t actually say you advise smoking. It was just a joke and most people do get bad effects on their bodies from smoking and their lives are shortened. Are you basing your replies on KZread videos or actual peer reviewed journals?

Timothy Renfer I says “they” because it’s both parties. Too much goes too far. Once you relinquish power to the government, very rarely to they relinquish it back, when they’re done abusing it. Vote accordingly.

Paula Keller - yes we should get rid of the Electoral College. we should also move election day to the weekend or make it a national holiday, implement Ranked Choice Voting, and have paper ballots instead of easily hack-able machines

SCotUS is the only place there should be limits as they are not elected. The limit should be 10 years. As for term limits on elected officials, they are called Elections. Why limit the people to whom they can have governing for them.

I'm for term limits on SCOTUS, but at the same time, that was a lot of whining over not having their choices.

Bill, free speech & BROADCASTING Oinky Jones are 2 different things. Free speech doesn't cover LYING in a BROADCAST. Oinky Jones can stand on a soap box & say what he will, however he doesn't have the right to broadcast LIES & HATE. That's the issue. Free Speech was intended to allow a Free Press & the public to report on what their govt was doing. Also isn't hate speech illegal or did Tramp repeal that too?

Why is it unthinkable that anyone who wishes to "Keep and bear arms" should be eligible for service in a "Well-Regulated Militia?" first [Military, Police, etc.) It would rule me out, and others who shouldn't have them.

SCOTUS TERM LIMITS, YES 👍

The Supreme Court judges NEED to be elected, not chosen by the president, especially not "this president" we have in power.

You vote for the supreme court by voting for the president.Hope youll have fun watching Bernie lose again 2020. No one wants an 80 year old 30+ year career politician who is being supported by the kremlin and didn't want to show his tax returns or medical records.

Hope more women win elected office because of equality. That said, I have little hope that they will act better than men. Power corrupts and it makes people isolated from real life and real problems.

Purely as a gender observer I have my own personal issues with women in general (not that I don't have issues with men, either), but by FAR I think men should be exempt from ever holding public office. Men...you should spit and run machinery. Let women rule the world. How's that, gals?

You know what? Sure. I'm all for that. Let women rule the world for a bit. And then, when it turns out that that just leads to a slightly different kind of blatant corruption and incompetence, then we might finally be rid of this ridiculous notion that women aren't exactly as selfish, stupid and malicious as men are. Sadly, it will never happen, because a lot more men than women are willing to use and abuse anyone and anything to get themselves into power. Most women much prefer to sit on their asses, keep their lily-white hands clean, and complain endlessly about everything that men do. And which one is the more contemptible course, I really couldn't tell you.

If you mean that men should be forbidden from holding public office, then you need to get your ignorant ass back to school and learn what the word "exempt" means. Or try a dictionary.

Dear Mr. Blow, I absolutely meant "exempt". Political offices appear to have always been, in the world's history, something men just cannot seem to handle correctly. Therefore they should not be held responsible. They should be "exempt" from the obvious punishment thrust upon them by the nature of politics. The gals are more capable of the afflictions of office. Is that worthy of your highness?

Needs more Adam Conover ^_^

NO! Then you will have elections. And money. Go figure... The SC should be an independent judiciary - like every other developed country

If your talking about term limit make congress and senate have term limits also.

I saw adam on the thumbnail, i clicked.

Bill says there is only two options and you have to pick a side. Then the next minute he says John Kasich should run as a third party candidate. Do you not see the disconnect?

The Founders were wrong in their assumption that there would be no political parties. Because of that, most of the elements of the political system they've established are incredibly flawed. For instance, Congress was supposed to legislate based on the opinions of each and every member of Congress, not based on the party and on what the President told his party to do.

good luck ladies

Looking for an honest civil conversation with a liberal or progressive here. The panel mentioned a lot of women running for office this year and the audience wildly cheers. My question is, why do you think women running for elected office is a good thing? Does a politician's gender make them a good politician? If only men were running, why would that be a bad thing?

Back in the day people did not live to there eighties let alone working as a supreme Court Justice it's sad

I think i was drink hard last night because Adam Conover is on Bill's show =O i got to quite drinking =X

One thing you are missing about the Supreme Court judge pics of recent years... these judges have been raised through the Koke Brothers law societies. So you are not getting just conservative judges appointed - you are getting judges especially raised on a certain type of conservatism - with a certain type thinking which is very different to conservative judges in the past.
