READER RESPONSE TO JUSTICE TOAL'S COMMENTS AND OUR QUERY
Is the problem the lack of judges or is it the lack of competent judges willing to apply the law coupled with procedural and substantive flaws in the system?
=============================
The number and quality of judges is irrelevant until you first look at the system used to clear judges for appointment to the bench. This is done through the Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC). Who are the people on the JMSC and more importantly how were they selected to be there. Any judge who demonstrates an unwillingness to ‘apply the law’ is in direct violation of their oath of office and has ceased to be a judge. They have abandoned all authority granted to their position, and by their own deeds have become TRESPASSERS.What measures are our legislators willing to take to remove these unauthorized TRESPASSERS from 'our' public property.
