I’m into term limit reform, though I think complexity for the sake of complexity just allows more dark corners for corruption to fester.

But how do term limits solve the misinformation and cult of personality that is currently plaguing contemporary American democracy?

The interesting part, for me, of the introduction of juries in bill voting is having to plead the case to the jury rather than their ephemeral status.

This would immediately remove all of the “carve out diplomacy” that is currently used to get bills passed.

Politicians lie by a matter of course, courts have consequences and checks and balances for lies; imperfect, but at least they are there.

Juries are terrible at offering specialized knowledge, which is becoming increasingly critical in the world.

That's why their primary use in the US (trials) offloads all the specialty requirements onto other parties (adversarial prosecution and defense teams, judges, court staff).

Consequently, in using juries you gain some measure of protection from corruption and responsiveness.

But you lose expert knowledge.

How would that work in your system?

I think I address this in another comment thread.

> The thing is, congress members are rarely experts themselves, but the court system actively encourages expert witness testimony.

You said “lose” but I would argue it’s a “gain” as far as expertise is concerned.
