A reminder that this specifically American dysfunction DOES NOT EXIST in systems with an unelected judiciary, eg. the UK. (We have other problems with judicial appointments, but not *this* one—far-right lobbying groups like the Heritage Foundation subverting the justice system for political ends.)

The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.
John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.
