The New York congresswoman said that the justices' refusal to recuse from certain prominent cases “constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law.”

    The idea is to have some experience in politics in lower positions before taking on the hot seat.

      I feel like mandating a certain number of years in some managerial governmental position would be more effective. Trump is basically a living example of how to get around that. Honestly a lot of democracy kinda assumes people elect competent and honest leaders and a lot of humanity are just brainwashed morons so we’re stuck with what we got :/.

        That’s a great point. AOC has more experience than Trump did when elected.

      I’m just upset that there’s no maximum age limit. If they are fine with a minimum why isn’t there a maximum?

      Yeah, that’s the idea. But then you have people like Trump come in and not have any experience.

          So what if it is? The point is that the whole system is a circus sideshow.

            Well you can’t maintain focus on the topic if you start going down every branch. It just comes across as whiny and instead of constructive. It even caused your comment to be apathetic.

            It is 100% whataboutism. There is no denying it.

              It’s not whataboutism: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/whataboutism-origin-meaning

              Whataboutism is about switching the topic and reversal of accusation.

              OP said that we have minimum age to be president, but according to SCOTUS it is a-ok to be a felon and running for the office.

              A whataboutism in the subject of this post, where we talking about impeachment of Thomas and Alito would be “what about Pelosi’s stocks”?
