Paul, This is a marvelous series. I have sent today's segment to the lawyers I most respect, most of whom I have convinced with evidence over years that the judicial branch is easily the most corrupt branch of government. This particular article makes that point in spades -- power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely -- and that is the beginning and end of the judicial branch story.
I hope you are going to make a final part on the Rule of Law series which is how we can fix this. We clearly no longer have the rule of law...not even close.
I hope you like this series because it's going to go on for 20 parts! In Part 14 I'm going to summarize this law review article which I wrote years ago (although it applies only to the federal judiciary, not the state judiciaries): https://digitalcommons.pepperdine.edu/plr/vol37/iss3/2/.

Marvelous. Have downloaded it and will spread it around to some politically active lawyers who I think will profit from reading it.
