    It might be the case in the US, but usually this sentiment is being used by a fascist government to get support from the public to gut the judicial system of any power.

      Which is better, though? The current fascist-laden one we currently have, or the theoretical one that that has lost its power?

      There is a third option. Watering down the political hack judges control by adding enough justice that some form of representation is back on the menu.

      Or adding some effective checks and balances to reign them in, much like the system was designed for, back when politics had the nievety to think the system could never be sabotaged by bad actors.
