most judges really do consider themselves part of an elite club who are better than everyone else, and who know what is best even if it’s not their area of expertise. They are ‘know it alls’.
they also live in a bubble where everyone bows down to them and kisses their a55es so they don’t get any real criticism or opposing viewpoints in their life... just like evil dictators who live in a bubble and everyone around them is just a yes man.
