As if judge was interested in closing the case and moving onto the next one rather than serving justice.
In many countries judges are unsackable, is it true in the US?
- hedora 5y agoMany judges in the US have lifetime appointments. This is one reason it was so damaging (depending on your point of view) when congress refused to confirm Obama’s judicial nominees, then rammed through a record number under Trump. It led to Trump boasting that the judges would just tilt the scales on the election for him if the count said he lost (that didn’t work out), and the current large crop of new abortion bans working their way up to the (in his words), “Trump judge” federal courts.
