The problem with our system is that the Founding Fathers built it based on the predicate that only people who were honest and upstanding would be entrusted with the highest authority. They never banked on their “small state protections” bringing into power a reality TV host with shit for brains who appointed as many shady shysters into high positions as he could. If we survive long enough to fix it, we need to start putting in safeguards so that our only recourse against a corrupt judge isn’t to hope he has a sudden attack of conscience and spontaneously decides to recuse himself.
