      @cantstopkevin The French Conseil constitutionnel is made of 9 people with a 9 years term Every three years a third of the court is replaced by one person nominated by the president, one by the president of the National Assembly and one by the president of the senate

    @cantstopkevin It’s probably not a perfect solution but it feels much better than the way the SCOTUS judges are appointed

      @cantstopkevin (And since the 2009 constitutional reform the Conseil constitutionnel now has a real competency to check the constitutionality of laws and lower court decisions so it works in a similar way than SCOTUS)
