The reason to have courts at all is to have an alternative to violence to resolve conflicts of interest.
This is why black market negotiations are done featuring a lot of well-armed guys.
This is also why the public needs to be able to trust the courts are impartial.
This is why even the appearance of misconduct cannot be tolerated.
So at the time your goons kill their goons to resolve the dispute, kill the corrupt judge as well, because its his fault you had to resort to violence in the first place.
When McConnell blocked the confirmation of Garland to SCOTUS, he also blocked over a hundred federal bench appointments, so many, that the Federalist Society was struggling to find enough to fill the seats, so yes they were scraping the dregs at the bottom of the conservative barrel. So in only follows that a lot of conservative appointments were given a position above their level of competence.
Curiously, in movements like the white Christian nationalist movement that had been commandeering the GOP since the 1970s (which is not to say they were much better before that), the shift from principle to personal loyalty results in brain drain, since competent officers with dissenting opinions are swapped out for incompetent ideologists. The German Reich also had to deal with this kind of problem.
My comment? Huh. I can still see it (which contrasts to previous times I’ve gotten controversial on Lemmy). I wonder if Lemmy has shadow-banning capabilities.

If it matters, the judge is a Republican.
They seem to be in the news more often…

So gross… Lifetime appointments.
They either need term limits or a way for us to recall them.
Especially this guy. He’s king partisan.
Term limits come with their own set of issues. They’re not the panacea that people seem to think they are.

He’s stating the obvious smooth brain. History is full of instances where the system breaks down to violence due to the corruption of judges.
(former) redditors and canned responses that get overdone to death
Liberals and assuming the state is nonviolent
Edit: the coward above said “leftists and inciting violence, name a more iconic duo”
The USA and committing political violence.
Political violence and French aristocracy?
Party like it’s 1789?
