'Democracy' has Three 'Branches', but the Third Branch is creating an 'imbalance'.
Democracy has Three Branches and one of those Branches is creating an imbalance. Of course, I refer to the Judicial Branch. The other two Branches also have their 'imbalances', but with elections and 'time limits' on service, those can be, with time, 'potentially balanced'. The Third Branch was created as a 'stabilizer' i.e. a Branch that balances-out the ideological differences, so as to implement democratic Institutions. However, the Justices are appointed for their life-time; that aspect of the judicial function merely allows a Justice to 'fixate or cement' his/her ideological stance or, to decide one-way 'today' with a view of changing it 'tomorrow'. The end-result is that many hard fought victories about 'Equality and Freedom' are being rendered 'unstable' and effete. (Of course, this would not have been possible if the ideologues had not separated into so called Liberals and Conservatives, but its too late to change that.) Public service for a life-time may have been designed to 'enunciate' some sort of stability to 'democratic institutions' and to that particular Branch, but, lets face it, that's too long for a 'diverse' Judiciary. 'Good behavior' is not a 'controlling factor', and neither is 'one or the other' ideology. Now, maybe what has 'become necessary' is that they serve for 20 or 30 years only.( a life-time is too long.) Certainly, a limit on the time-factor would be a sufficient time to establish an Institutional ideology that is Democratic. The Court's function is too stabilize, not to separate and 'create', 'temporary change', for 'later modifications' that will destroy democratic Institutions. That is where its heading. The Court is using Law to destroy democracy.
