You mean we will, right? I'm sure he's protected the same way cops are so taxes will be used to pay for judge's mistakes while he continues to be a piece of shit without any repercussions.
If you don't like paying for the mistakes of law enforcement, legislate punishment on law enforcement that makes mistakes!
When it's a judge you have to vote them out (usually), and since they were voted in you have to punish the taxpayer for making such a boneheaded mistake.
It's a taxpayer votes in this chuckle fucker again and maybe we need to punish them that much harder.
The government has the money to spare otherwise they would stop fucking up so goddamn always.
Yep. Settlement payouts need to go through the roof until the apathetic or unaware take notice of what they are doing to their tax bill. It's the US after all, so impacting peoples' money is of course the only way we'll get any reform.
Or maybe settlements should come from police budgets and pension accounts, cuz u know they did the damage...
Or maybe, now hear me out, make powerful pos pay for their own lawsuits.
One of those things has a chance of happening, the other does not. In theory I agree with you. In the case of police, QI will prevent that most of the time for civil suits. In the case of judges, they are judges...
