#MickMulvaney on Twitter: “Cheney’s closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. There is an old maxim: it’s never the crime, it’s always the coverup. Things went very badly for the former President today. My guess is that it will get worse from here” / Twitter

What I don’t get about the #US is that you have elections for posts like police commissioners (we don’t in the UK) but at the top of it all you have an unelected and therefore unaccountable cabal of only nine individuals who never have to report to any authority and are there until they die. I thought that only happened in totalitarian states like the Soviet Union or China.
The authority of the #President of the #US can rightfully be challenged as can that of other branches of #government but the authority of the #SupremeCourt cannot. Why?
