John Oliver had a segment on how electing judges in the US is a shitshow, mainly because it forces an otherwise non-partisan job to align with a party and also forces them to spend more time campaigning and less time on their actually job.
- And then when the other party is unhappy with some judge's decision they go with "RADICAL DEMOCRAT JUDGE!"
  
  I only see one party vocally usurping the rulings of judges so that they may steal that power fascistically.
Doug Ford doesn't like being held accountable.
Shut the fuck up Doug and get me a god damned doctor!
“We get democratically elected, and some judge slaps an injunction on bike lanes. Don’t the judges have anything better to do than worry about if we’re taking out bike lanes or not taking out bike lanes?” Ford said.
Don't you have anything better to do than worry about our bike lanes? You've got a whole province to run.
Sometimes I feel like this guy thinks he's the mayor of Toronto, the premier of Ontario and the prime minister all in one, with the power he thinks he has and the things he wants to do.
