理论上美国政法分离，政治不能立竿见影地干扰司法系统运作。但老猫你忽略了政治影响民意，从而影响法律。因为立法的是政客，不是司法机构

一条法律从提案始，每一步都是由政客来决定，不可能没有政治的因素在内。提案由“民意”而定，但民意是可以由政客们操纵的。否则现在两党为竞选连篇累牍的广告就都是白花钱了。

加之司法系统的执法人，比如法官，检察官，警察总监。。。或是由政客指定，或是民选，无一不包含政治因素。

所以律师是法制社会不可缺少的职业之一，可以起一定的政法平衡作用。

How Are Laws Made? http://www.house.gov/content/learn/legislative_process/

Laws begin as ideas. First, a representative sponsors a bill. The bill is then assigned to a committee for study. If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended. If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate. In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on. Again, a simple majority (51 of 100) passes the bill. Finally, a conference committee made of House and Senate members works out any differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. The resulting bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval. The Government Printing Office prints the revised bill in a process called enrolling. The President has 10 days to sign or veto the enrolled bill.

• 这才是理性的思考。 法律裁决是由人来执行的，政治和财力都是影响其结果的参数。 -阿好- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/29/2016 postreply 13:17:52
