The US system isn't a pure democracy, it's never been. Given that, it's a largely political matter which institutions you feel should be more democratic than others. Article III comes after Articles I and II and many believe this is the order of importance that branches are given in government. Really where we differ is our politics, this is not a debate on obvious constitutional interpretation.
An EPA employee doesn’t “rule” any more than a congressional staffer or court clerk.
It is right wing, period.
It is no surprise that your comment history is full of MAGA and Biden conspiracy.
This assumes that the Federalist Society cares about rule followers. It is after all the folks that gave Trump the short list of names with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, after McConnell refused to give Garland even a hearing.
What was the position of the Federalist Society on Garland's situation? Especially since Barrett was appointed just before an election.
What is your position as to why Garland was not even given the time of day but Barrett was?
But I’m flummoxed by something. What does “democracy” mean to liberals? You’re the ones who want courts to decide issues that most other advanced democracies leave to voters, right? You believe in unelected bureaucrats and experts governing the country instead of elected officials. You seem to be using “democracy” in a very odd way to refer to rule by educated elites.
