People have admitted in news interviews to destroying government data to prevent others from knowing what the government was doing. That’s likely criminal. This is a legitimate reason to get at information before people who might destroy ha

In addition to politics is how they interpret the job of being a judge. Is it to judge a case on the laws that are written given the context they were written in? Is it to interpret laws based on a different context? This leads to different

How would this work for the majority of people? Most people live paycheck-to-paycheck. Even those who make more than enough not to. It's a habit. If health care isn't baked in, will people pay for it? If not, how will they avoid b
