We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges

So much for an independent judiciary. If you still thought we had one a month ago, you were NOT paying attention. Long gone are the days when choices for federal judges were voted up or down based on their qualifications. For the last several cycles judges have been confirmed along party lines with only a few Senators crossing over to confirm based on qualification. Or bribery, take your pick.
Chuck the Schmuck tweeted his support for supreme injustice of the court Roberts and in so doing confirmed his opinion that a bias exists in the judiciary.
Roberts, in his stupid attack on President Trump stated "What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them."
What a bunch of BS! if they were doing their level best, there would be no need for appeals courts. Every decision by a trial judge would be upheld by a unanimous vote and the Supreme Court would have only 364 days a year to spend golfing and fishing. Hey! Gotta have a day for family, faith and friends on Christmas.
Instead we have several circuses that are routinely overturned in landmark decisions. Some people think we should break up the ninth circuit. It makes so many bad decisions and is overturned on appeal more than 3/4ths of the time. Realizing that only counts the cases which the Supreme injustices deign to hear, the actual number is lower, but they, while the target of President Trumps ire, are not the worst.
What we need are penalties attached to poor rulings. If a case is overturned by the SCOTUS, the circuit judges who made the bad ruling should get a six month vacation with out pay. The Constitution says a judges pay "shall not be diminished during their continuance in office" but also says they "shall hold their offices during good behaviour*". Getting overturned is not good behaviour*, so a simple suspension should be no problem, and since a suspension is an interruption of that continuance in office, making it without pay is reasonable and correct.
OK, maybe John Paul Stevens Jr. is right and we do not have Obama judges or Bush judges or Clinton judges but instead have just a bunch of really shitty judges. They all were appointed by uniparty presidents.
