Just the fact that we have the term “Judge Shopping” tells us that there is something terribly wrong with our judicial system….
In an ideal world, we should be able to go to any judge, at any level, and get the same results at any time, based on things like…you know, laws and the Constitution, The fact that that is not true tells us all we need to know…:That our judicial system is broken, biased, and political. Unless, and until, we get judges that are actually impartial, we don’t have anything but mob rule, really.
It’s been broken for a lot of years, B, as you already know, and won’t get fixed without a lot of discomfort for a lot of political wonks. The question is, will the wonks allow this. I don’t think so, because too many of the wonks are benefitting from the bias, and the same wonks don’t want to answer for their lack of ethics or integrity. I would like to be wrong, but after watching political manipulation for well over 30 years, which includes theft and graft, I have no confidence in this.
