This will require a supermajority. But a Supreme Court would settle a LOT of legal issues.

We already have a supreme court, dipstick. I've said it once and I'll say it again: read the constitution.

Nay

Appointed by the President? I.e., you? Hell naw. The American Supreme Court system is a bad model, it actually sucks — it both rewards and inevitably results in the politicization of justice. Overall the President appointing justices really flies in the face of separation of powers.

Also, 9 justices is a ludicrous amount for this stream. Where are they all gonna come from? Politics stream? Your Memechat empire?

3 justices, max, and not appointed by the President — appointed by the Owner to serve 2-month terms on the basis of stream history and merit. Perhaps 1 seat for each party that finished in the top 3.

But tbh I don’t think we need a Supreme Court at all. It’s been tried before several times before and has never taken off. Whatever “legal disputes” arise can be settled by some combination of Congress, the President, and the Owner.

Maybe Judges could be elected, idk.

They're approved by Congress.

they are appointed by the president but must be approved by congress and senate. perhaps we could also compromise to a smaller amount of justices or switch to judges. we dont really have too much to lose from this. perhaps we could have a little fun along the way.

Exactly.

Appointed by the President and approved by the Congress

Nay. Less justices, like 3 or something

perhaps we could compromise?

Yeah. 9 judges is way too many

what is the maximum that you would like to see?

Like sloth said, 3 is more than enough

ok then idk about you but im voting aye only if he goes to three judges.

Smae

Done.

nice. My final vote is aye

Changed to Abstain

Any chance I can get you to reconsider?

Idk

Well what do you not like about this idea?

Aye to 3 of them.

Nay

lol of course

6256q2.jpg (click to show) Should have taken my advice.

Care to elaborate on how you think this isn't "better"? Or do you just not want to see this government get anything done so you can have something to attack us on despite it being thanks to your obstructionist gamesmanship?

I refuse to support the ever-constant expanding powers of the executive branch of this government. My vote is still Nay.

How on earth does this expand the powers of the executive brach of the government? The only way the executive branch is effected here is that the President gets to make a pick. But the real choice lies in Congress and the Senate, who vote to confirm the nominee.

need more details than this, nay

What more is there to explain? The President picks three justices who are confirmed by Congress and the Senate, and their job is just like the American Supreme Court. Everyone else got their head around it since something just like this already exists in the US.

AYE !

Aye

Yes

Aye, and about the appointed by the Prez. The US Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president, and then Congress votes on whether they should be Justices or not. It’s a good idea, and a good system

Yea for three.

But I think we should do this as a pilot for the first two months and revisit the issue to see how it goes.

Yes

i vote aye if you change it to three judges otherwise i abstain.

I edited it so it's only three.

Aye

Nay. We already have a judicial system, which is the stream owner.

A single person is not a system

Which is exactly why it needs to change. Surely it's far more democratic and representative for the judicial system to consist of three users appointed by the President and confirmed by both Congress and the Senate, as opposed to an unelected all-powerful stream owner who abuses his authority to suppress opposition for no valid reason.

Except Scar hasn’t abused his authority, but you have. This is his stream, he has every right to remove someone’s mod if they are abusing their authority, just as you aren’t required to make Sloth a mod on Real_PoliticsTOO as it would be counterproductive to your stream’s vision. That applies to all mods of Presidents, not just AUP. Plus, why would we trust anyone you nominate? You don’t exactly have a reputation of choosing unbiased nonpartisans. Better to leave the actual nonpartisan in charge of the judiciary instead of more King Georgie cronies.

Funny how you mock me for accusing you of being a dictator while you refer to me as a King almost daily.

"Except Scar hasn’t abused his authority, but you have"

Yes he has and no I haven't. Even Scar seems to agree that I haven't abused my power because I'm a mod right now.

"This is his stream, he has every right to remove someone’s mod if they are abusing their authority, just as you aren’t required to make Sloth a mod on Real_PoliticsTOO as it would be counterproductive to your stream’s vision."

The difference is that IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS is a democratic system.

"That applies to all mods of Presidents, not just AUP. "

What's AUP?

"Plus, why would we trust anyone you nominate? You don’t exactly have a reputation of choosing unbiased nonpartisans. Better to leave the actual nonpartisan in charge of the judiciary instead of more King Georgie cronies."

You do realise that Congress would confirm my Supreme Court nominees, right? Obviously my nominees will be nonpartisans that a majority can support.

“Even Scar seems to agree that I haven't abused my power because I'm a mod right now.”

So all those other times you lost your mod don’t count then?

“The difference is that IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS is a democratic system.”

Scar is still the stream owner. It’s his stream and if you’re undermining the stream, even if you’re doing it “democratically”, he has every right to intervene, as does every other stream owner on Imgflip.

“Obviously my nominees will be nonpartisans that a majority can support.”

Yes because you have such a long history of being unbiased and nonpartisan (obvious sarcasm is obvious).

Yes, but Congress has to vote on them to approve the presidents nomination
