Judges generally have too much power. I realize a judicial process must have order but appointing every judge with the power to impose his or her own little rules, unique and inconsistent, is silly.
I read recently of a woman called as a witness in 1935. She showed up in court wearing very modest slacks and a jacket. The judge wouldn’t let her testify up wearing slacks. She was jailed for contempt until she agreed to wear a dress. She returned to court wearing an extravagant evening gown.
Give some people the ability to be a tyrant and tyranny will follow.
