Questions about Judges
Judges today are not liable for any of their rulings and are not able to be disciplined for their prejudices and unprofessional conduct. Further, the terms which they are on the bench are too long. They need to serve one term either 4 or 6 years and go back to work as a lawyer. To serve as a judge is a high calling and they are there to serve and not make it a career. Their healthcare and pensions would also be reflective of that of the people whom they are to serve. To be elected to a position of public trust means making sacrifices in their lives including income and professional growth to serve the people.
If elected to Congress would you make an oath to do everything possible to bring about reform of the judiciary at every level?
