    I am not so convinced about this. Your system may be politicised crap with elective judiciary but at least you have a constitution. Outdated, yes but still.

      I know that in the UK, the judiciary is based on the common law system. This was brought to the colonies, of course, and the judicial system in the US is a codified version of that.

      But the basic judicial concepts enshrined in common law in the UK are essentially the same as the ones codified in the US.
