I think we are going to need a whole new constitution soon. New courts, new legislature. New processes. New institutions

Everything is built to MAGA's benefit. It's too easy to consolidate power

We need proportional representation

We need a whole new method to select judges

We need to replace the executive with a suite of constitutional officers (many states do this already)

We need federal direct ballot initiatives for any restrictions of human rights or controversial topics

From the start, all oppressed groups could immediately be recognized and guaranteed equal protections under the law.

We could also rewrite the criminal justice system—law enforcement and prisons don’t need to remain as they are.

Love this

The military has a unified code of justice and strict rules of engagement. The police should have the sale structure (adjusted for civilian situations)

There are great models for prisons we can use too.

We can also look at other countries that take a far more humanitarian approach to rehabilitation. Northern EU comes to mind, it’s possibly Netherlands or Finland that I’m thinking of.
