Even though I'm not American I'm currently reading The Federalist papers and have just got to the part in #78 where Hamilton very strongly states that judges should never be elected. Given the way state judges often compete by promising to hand down harsher sentences in order to get people to vote for them I wish Congress had listened to Hamilton.
I'm an american and I feel exactly the same way! Its such a bad idea that I don't think people realize the full implications of.
I forgot all about that "How to Vote in Every State" channel... I wonder if there are plans to release updated versions for the 2018 midterms.
Dude. This series was informative and funny. So underviewed. Thanks for being awesome.
I'm not a US citizen. What you are doing here is great. notable.
This series has been super informative, thank you!
Hey Hank, I was wondering if you could add episode numbers to the titles. It would really help navigating
How is Hank able to create like 80 videos and a dozen podcasts every day!?!?!
Excellent content (yarrr, content!) However, I would have liked this video to also discuss the possibility to file an amicus brief, either directly, or by interacting with an advocacy group.
I am more impressed with Complexly and Hank Green with every series I come across.
Really enjoyed this series, thanks for making this!!
With all due appreciation of the series so far, the recent rulings by the Supreme Court of the United States (Upholding the travel ban, Rejecting the obligation of PSAs to be posted by Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Califorina, and overturning the obligation of employees of unionized companies to financially support their unions -- _whew!_ ) have shown that our Supreme Court does _not_ listen to the people or care about them at least in their 5-4 party-line split rulings, in which minority reports often observe inconsistency by the majority of their alleged legal philosophies.
The conservative bloc in the Supreme Court has been acting more and more as an ideological bulwark since the aughts, and it is only going to get worse from here.
Which is what this video about what you can do is for! ... lifetime appointments though
Which means that we will all be dead by the time there is a chance for anything to get better.
*nutiketgotc* If all things proceed by normal means, then yes, it's likely that we're going to have a century or so more of conservative ideological rulings coming from the US Supreme court. It's fun however to imagine the kind of political thriller fiction that emerges considering the motivation caused by appointment until death. A citizenship that didn't want to wait that long, and was terrified of such ideology might radicalize and consider changing policy by other means.
Not that anyone would ever consider violence for political gain in the real world. That would be inconceivable!
Or you could vote for legislators that will write different legislation. Congress is the branch that writes the laws.
And state legislatures are the ones that set election rules.
State legislators do not write rules for federal elections.
And the US Supreme Court decides, often arbitrarily (e.g. via spurious logic) what is _Constitutional_ and it is _very_ hard to amend the Constitution of the United States.
To cite an example, the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment has not firmly established protection from discrimination when prejudice is justified by religion. How many times to we have to establish equal rights in the Constitution before we actually get them?
The solutions the people are offered through _proper channels_ have been proven time and again ineffective. Which makes for a political climate in which citizens will consider resorting to improper channels, especially when antagonistic efforts to suppress proper channels (e.g. gerrymandering, voter suppression, regulatory capture, et al.) are ubiquitous.
Even though I'm not American, I've found this series super informative..
Thanks dude👏
"...your actual physical talky bits."

Aw but the bald eagle cry would've been so cute.
i just watched all of this series and it's probably my favorite content produced by y'all thus far! reminded me why i keep up with all of your channels just a lil bit
If you were trully serious you would make videos on how the internal courts work as well (intra-state circuits) and show the pros and cons of each system
This is very informative. Should have been made viral prior the Kavanaugh and Barett appointment!
Aaron Persky was recalled. We did it!
Interesting funny you guys had this idea I am a law student and I just started a channel doing a similar but different content. More like the specific law behind various issues, covering anti discrimination law, free speech, issues of federalism, the Commerce Clause, procedural due process !!!!!! I think you guys are on to something there isn't enough quality and accessible content on the courts or the actual law on youtube.
But... those recent "walkouts" weren't "students speaking out." They were organized by the schools, and students didn't have the option to stay in class.
That is not what Tinker was about, is it?
This was so informative and helpful! Is there a good primer out there for some important court cases everyone should know?
Amazing series, I am thoroughly educated. Now if only I understood the judiciary system of my own country...
First I’m cutting tomatoes during the entire tomato video, then I’m sprinkling thyme as he uses the word time...this video is MY DESTINY. Time to quite chemistry and go to law school, right?

Sir,
Thank you again for these very useful videos. I am still on active duty and anticipating retiring in 4 years. What can I do now, so I can increase my chance of getting a GS job the next day after I retire? Thank you for your time.
JudicalNominations.org is in serious need of an upgrade. It still uses Flash, which is (for good reasons) a pain in the rear in the most common modern browsers.
Great series, Hank! I learned quite a bit.
I value these in a way that doesn't apply to your other videos, in truth I still love them all.
While a lot to ask and in task could you do something in this vain from the ground up? In the USA here and I'd appreciate an accurate non political record of our history but more than that. Not just an accounting of the Constitution but what is the nature of such a document, the history, leeway and limitations of one. How to draft one ect.
In my head is a large, dynamic and involved project which is beyond my means, skills and probably understanding.
So yep, thats all, no biggy. LOL
Thanks for all that you do, my world is more informed and I'm certain ours if better as a result. Keep on keeping on!
To be fair, every judge should be a Ravenclaw.
Are more videos coming in this series? I hope so!
Civics: the ongoing resistance. Thanks, Hank ❤️
vote vote vote!
But are voting for the president ain't voting for the president goes to the electee and then they vote
I assume the odds of an Australian version of this great series is low?....
More saturation on the camera part please
Yeah you can run for office as long as you have the money to spend on it.
So what you are saying is that when they are wrong there are no consequences and the only thing I can do is vote so that in 20 or 30 years when I'm almost dead I might get justice. But only maybe..
But the truth is we can ask all we want and vote for all we want but the truth is that they can go ahead and pick the other person because it goes to our elected appointee and not actually votes for the presidency or any other branch of government just do our electoral which means even though we vote for somebody and they have the votes from us the people they can still turn around and put the other person on there sorry about really don't matter oh you're voting for president no we've been lied to our votes go to the electric and they decide which vote to put in.
