One of the documents describes Putin and senior officials overseeing proxy efforts to spread claims that Biden, as vice president, engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. The document says operatives affiliated with the Russian government advanced these narratives with U.S. officials and other prominent figures, through personal interactions as well as audio and documentary releases via U.S. and Ukrainian outlets.
It goes on to say these figures were conspiring to intensify their efforts as the election approached, aiming to “orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal” implicating Biden and the Democratic Party in order to help Trump win.
The document describes an intelligence assessment that Russian government-linked proxies were working to damage Biden’s candidacy ahead of the vote, relying in part on U.S. officials and other prominent people to amplify the narratives, though many of the people involved remain redacted in the public version.
I’ve seen all sort of interesting suggested modifications, but the main concept, expanding the court to be large enough to prevent it from being manipulated, doesn’t seem to have much resistance as a starting point.
I think that increasing the size is good, but the problem is that you can still source too many judges from too few authorities. By limiting how much each authority can have judges, it forces negotiation and discussion between judges on political problems.
We saw how justice selection can be distorted by delaying the selection of judges after one has passed away, for example. We should allow each authority to quickly select their judges of choice, but unable to interfere with the judge selection of rival authorities.
