The fundamental problem is that there's no credibility in the judicial system, which is a system that's been completely politicized. This is retaliation and selective repression.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a judge. It seemed to me that it was critical to try to take action to stem the criticism and help people understand that in the constitutional framework, it's terribly important not to have a system of retaliation against decisions people don't like.
People demand a lot of the justice system and they demand things that it can't deliver.
Judges must be free from political intervention or intimidation.
The idea that there aren't mistakes made constantly in the judicial system is too obvious even to need to mention.
The Court's legitimacy arises from the source of its authority - which is, of course, the Constitution - and is best preserved by adhering to decision methods that neither expand nor contract but legitimize the power of judicial review.
Judicial abuse occurs when judges substitute their own political views for the law.
There is a danger to judicial independence when people have no understanding of how the judiciary fits into the constitutional scheme.
Everything needs to be public. The legitimacy of the courts comes from the fact that they reason openly, on the record, based on facts.
I have faith in the judicial system.
You have a good judicial system in the U.S., as you have learned from the Nixon-Watergate period.
