(23,717 posts)22. i think a serious reorganization of the justice deartment is in order
i think executive branch control of the DOJ needs to go away. The AG should become a nationally election position and the election of the AG should be every 2 years (maybe with term limits too?). So you don't get hacks like Bill Barr in there appointed by a corrupt president and approved by his party's senate. That's just to start. Basically you can't have the president in charge of determining whether he is a criminal or not and controlling who gets to decide.

I share your outrage. Infotainment has normalized so much, I wonder if we will survive this.
