Agree completely. Of course, they've been doing it for so long by now they're almost on autopilot.
You'll constantly hear the courts whine about "judicial independence." It's a code word, for never, ever, question a lawyer, after he's become a judge, and/or his/her court rulings. Especially, the U.S. Supreme Court. A term nowhere to found in the U.S. Constitution or Amendments thereof.
IMO, SCOTUS appointments should be Constitutionally changed to eight year terms. Three judges out and three judges in every presidential term. All appellate judges should be given a four year judicial grand jury report card, for senate reconfirmation. Their whole employment package must be looked at. To much time off and not enough cases being heard. Presently, more than 95% of appellate court cases are being rubber stamped dismissed and not even heard.
Congress must go to work, and get over this letting the judiciary police themselves without oversight. Self policing has led to nothing but more judicial tyranny and abuse. Federal judge discipline should go to a judicial grand jury for recommendations to congress for impeachment or dismissal, instead of the present fox guarding the hen house do nothing system.
