    That’s all well and good but judges are ostensibly impartial and not supposed to care that much about their careers when it conflicts with a gross miscarriage of justice, which that would be. But we’re all just meatbags, not paragons of virtue, so that’s obviously flawed logic.

      No one is impartial and anyone who believes that they are only fooling themself to the detriment of everyone else.

      Also questioning that “impartialality” under the circumstances it exists can get you jailed & fined being beyond your capability to pay; laying bear another inherent contradiction.
