In the grand scheme of things no, it doesn't matter (Off-Topic)

Part of the revelations of the Clinton emails is just how little the various department heads follow the laws, and how they scheme around them. The supreme court really just is useful for favorable coverage and the illusion that the sheep have an equal say in these decisions, when the real truth is they don't.

The West has an issue in that we have a new aristocracy, that sits in the halls of power and smokey back rooms and makes all the decisions to benefit themselves while a compliant press covers for them and gets fame and fortune as a byproduct.

Of course this has always been the case under socialism. Socalists are so good at the looting that the countries rarely survive more then a hanful of terms with them in charge before they become failed states, like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Iran, and Iraq. Russia and China would fail, but they have gotten such huge investment from the west that they have managed to lurch on, and even then they need to continuously annex land and resources from their neighbors.
