    I hate how people act like biased judges are a new problem in our system.

    It’s been a problem for the entirety of America, but we keep never fixing it.

    We need actual progress to fix the system

      There’s still jurisdictions where you can be elected a judge and have not even a single idea about the legal system.

          Exactly what I was going to say, and a perfect example of one of the giant holes in our system

          trump could have put all of his kids on the SC if he wanted too.

          There’s literally nothing stopping republicans from getting that ridiculous with it except decorum, and that doesn’t mean shit these days

        I texas you don’t even need a GED for the first few levels of judges. You don’t have to have a law degree until the appellate level.

      this guy! Argues every day in a way that would lead to Trump winning and appointing more judges like this.

      We need to teach the Democrats a lesson, or something! They’re bad!
