As expressed in our Declaration, one of the problem areas we had with the King was that his judges in the colonies worked for him. They defended the ancient prerogatives of the King and were solely responsible to their sovereign.

Our Framers separated the judiciary from the executive, yet our judges had something in common with Brit judges, for they too were to serve the interests of their sovereign, We The People, whose will was expressed in a Constitution to which our judges swore allegiance.

Our system is more corrupt than the one we fought against, for the King's judges rightfully served their sovereign, whereas our judges do not serve their sovereign, us.
