What motivation do they have to fix a system that put them in office in the first place? (hint: none, there is no motivation)

I thought references to scientific evidence and "understanding of statistics" made it sufficiently clear that I was joking.

Yea I know you were joking, but I was highlighting a major problem with the current system we have: the only people who can fix it tend to benefit most from having it broken in their favor.

The punchline should be "the Supreme Court," but I'm guessing it's "Russia."
