Bill: Ending the Judicial Bureaucracy - 4015
Details
Submitted by[?]: Great National Republican Guard
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 4015
Description[?]:
| The judicial bureaucracy is a prime feature of the bourgeois 'justice' system. It promotes a structure of rules with a dual character. This structure is 'protected from' the democratic elements of the state through liberal nonsense about separation of powers. The structure is flexible enough for the wealthy to work around it, but rigid enough to ensure that the wealthy retain their property rights above all else. In our great moves towards Socialism, where the light of a new era shines on Lodamun, the corrupt members bourgeoisie hide behind the shadows of the judicial bureaucracy. We must dismantle the judicial bureaucracy if we want to: - properly tackle corruption - ensure that laws are not too rigid for the poor - ensure that laws are not too flexible for the wealthy By transferring judicial responsibilities to the Office of the President, judicial matters can be handled much more transparently. If a President misuses his judicial powers, the Presidium can quickly sack him/her and replace him/her with a new President. With the judicial bureaucracy, even the most judges are protected by the bourgeois principle that the Judiciary should be 'independent' from the Presidium and the government. |
