So if you can afford an attorney that gives a lot to the judge's campaign fund, or an attorney who has a good family name that can throw a lot of support behind a judge's campaign, you're set for some lenient judicial treatment.
    Corruption ruins any solution we can come up with. Perhaps we just need some judges to judge the judges and watch the watchmen while they are at it.

We will instill in them a distaste for power or privilege, they will rule because they believe it right, not because they desire it."
