    I’m immediately suspicious of any major change to the Judicial system proposed, especially while Rs control Congress. Not that I wouldn’t be suspicious if Ds did.

    My guess is they want to influence the Judges. Obviously, it has nothing at all to do with “the public’s right to know”, that’s just bullshit.

      Yeah this seems like it will lead to judge intimidation, “We are recording you, better interpret the laws and Constitution like we want.”

    Personally I think that elected officials are public property, and they should have to wear body cameras and/or have cameras follow them 24/7, and the footage should be reviewable by anyone. Carve out minor exemptions for solo bathroom visits and sleeping in the same room as a spouse, provided no phones are in the room when a camera isn’t present.

    If you don’t want the scrutiny, don’t run for office

      Absolutely not lol, no human is property and privacy is a human right (though one that is frequently abused). You shouldn’t need to give up your rights to run for office, that’s ridiculous.

        What I’m describing is like being in the military more than anything, considering the financial rewards and a pension

    They want to make ai courts. Only ai judges, lawyers, and jury. Which AI, as a probability calculator, could never do.

    It’s always about data scrapping with them.
