What a disgusting power tripping asshole.
I essentially feel that way about every judge. The power to choose other people's fates goes to anyone's head, no exceptions.
What would happen if the lower level judges had very limited terms (1 year?) with term limits?
You would have a bunch of incompetent judges. I say create a test and test them vigorously every year. If they fail, they come off the bench.
Oh, i like this idea.
If we had enough incentive to be a judge for a year, i think that there would be a lot of competent volunteers. I try to be an optimist, but it hardly works out.
Lots of cases last much longer than a year.
Good point
