Around the clock care and three square meals are what many problem students lack though . <| sep |> WildTangent ? isn ' t that . malware ? <| sep |> You know that gay and lesbians make up by far the largest percentage of homeless minors . Kids getting kicked out of their fundamentalist Christian parents home for being gay is incredibly common . <| sep |> Who is worst in the digital ? <| sep |> In most countries , judges don ' t need to be political , and the people don ' t want them to be political let alone elected . Their job is to interpret the law based on existing legislation and judicial precedence . If a UK judge passes a judgement invalidating a new law because it has illegal provisions , the government must then amend the law so that it is compliant with the judgement . What it cannot do is leave a legislative vacuum by not actually addressing the points in the judgement , else the government will be sued by complainants . This is very different to the US , where SCOTUS judgements are sometimes effectively laws Roe vs Wade has no federal law to back it up , so a President need only to appoint antiabortion judges to effectively repeal this law . The President can nominate anybody to be a SCOTUS justice , even if they have zero legal experience , as long as heshe is certain Congress will confirm the appointment . It ' s a ridiculous state of affairs , and it ' s a clear example of Congress not doing its job . Legislators are supposed to draft new laws in response to the decisions of the courts , not use those decisions as if they were law . Here , it would be an absolute scandal if a judge ruled abortion was illegal for religious reasons , or allowed the teaching of creationism in schools due to their own beliefs . The ruling would be invalidated and the judge would not be allowed to sit on cases until the judicial oversight functions Lord Chancellor , etc . were satisfied that the judge would be able to interpret law without allowing their personal beliefs to guide their judgements . It would also be a scandal if a politician was discovered to be recommending judges for appointment for religious or political reasons . The tldr is , the ease at which legislators can pass laws in Parliamentary democracies mean we don ' t need to rely on judges to legislate from the bench . This therefore means judges are apolitical , bland , faceless people , the most senior of whom e . g . UK Supreme Court have literally 30 years of experience in law .
