US and Canada intervened in internal Mexican affairs by expressing their displeasure over Mexican judicial overhaul where judges will now be elected instead of being appointed.

To be more exhaustive, it's better described as a mixed method for election. People will elect ultimately, but only after the candidates are chosen by the three constitutional powers. Also, the candidates will need to cover some requirements. There is a lot of propaganda going on saying anyone could be a judge without any training.

This and the judicial reform has me really excited for the future of Mexico.
Those of us in the US need to do what we can to prevent retaliation, because it is coming.
I'm curious how you're excited for these judicial reform. IMHO, elected judges are a horrible idea.
I reject the US antidemocratic idea that democracy needs a check to keep the mob under control. All positions of power should be elected imo, the people are the only check on power necessary to maintain good governance.
The entire reason for unelected Courts is to rule against democracy when the People are "wrong". Fuck that.
The few times Courts have ruled in favor of progress do not absolve them of their original sin of being antidemocratic.
