Its a gross overgeneralization to say that because a case in New York was wrongly decided, that means that the entire judiciary is corrupt.

Tis but the most recent example. Other examples abound. The gay wedding stuff for example.

It is also wrong to lump all members of any profession together as if they all think the same way. That’s just silly. There are good justices, there are bad justices. Whenever anyone goes to court, they should know that they will win sometimes and they will lose sometimes. If they lose when they should have won, appeal to a higher court.

The courts are somewhat unique in that their work product is not subject to review by objective standards. Everyone else can be objectively analyzed for success or failure, but due to the nature of the Legal system, there is no means of holding them accountable for turning out a horrible work product.

What other profession exists where the quality of your work can be crap but you can still make a living?

“What other profession exists where the quality of your work can be crap but you can still make a living?”

Only every profession and occupation that there is. Ever heard of tenure in the teaching profession? Ever heard of guaranteed, no cut contracts in professional athletics? Ever heard of practicing physicians who have lost malpractice lawsuits? Ever been to a phone company, a car dealership, the DMV? Are all of our federally elected officials with seniority, competent?

Latest Obama-nominated federal judges: Jill Parish, District of Utah, Senate vote on confirmation: 100-0. May 21, 2015
Rolando Olvera, Jr., Southern District of Texas, Senate vote on confirmation: 100-0. May 21, 2015.

311 Obama nominated federal judges have been confirmed. 113 of them were confirmed unanimously, 38 were confirmed by unanimous consent, 63 were confirmed on a voice vote. That equals 214 Obama-nominated federal judges who were unchallenged and 97 who were challenged.

6 Obama nominees were rejected via Republican filibusters of their nominations. Obama withdrew all six nominations and nominated a different judge who was then confirmed in all six instances.
