Judges Bought by Lobbyists, Corporations - Report

we are in our executive branch and legislative branches bought by corporations and lobbyists but it turns out that our judicial branches also baat okay and i already most of you guys are a suspected that but now there's actual study that was conducted by the brenner sent brennan's that center for justice at n_y_u_ and ad they look at all these different cases where it's a print court state supreme courts pat a conflict of interest okay where corporation or a lobbyist donated money or company donated money to and judges campaign and then the judge ruled in favor of them innate case right so they can buy example of that case back in two thousand seven west virginia and the west virginia supreme court uh... vote in favor of the eight coal company right in the coal company was facing a class action lawsuit because i have at some of that uh... if damages that some of their employees suffered as a result of working for the company well at the coal company had funded the elections of that some of that judge judges that ruled on that case and of course the judges voted in their favor there's a lot of questions uh... still look the minute by so it is being elected however many years ago that was i thought that idea jeans ok that is a bad idea in a non corrupt system because he still this posting terminal all this was the legal experts i know but look at the same time and this is nice to try i but if you subject them to the popular weldon big are not doing that and uh... then they're responding to the popular well not once in the letter of the law and institution shows the different branch of government before she should elect your legislatures the passed the law according to popular well but the judge is interning outlaw should not be subject to the same pressure gadre so the bad idea to begin with melanie add on top of it or corrupt system where people get elected get elected based purely on the money in ninety four percent of people in are the ones who have more money in an election won the golf course ten judges are going well this is seven role in the direction of the companies that have a lot of money at stake in from the court's but i think they'd do not recused themselves in those cases how ranger is outrageous and also what about cases where uh... judge is not seeking election or running a campaign right so if the first as it comes to mind is much of a relatively status for cash outright handle and are funded by private prisons and as a result of that he he became a millionaire because of that and as a result he would put addthis kitty teenagers in juvenile detention centers for months for tiny little and sometimes years yeah this because the now that was illegal there was a kick back and use it using direct cash anyone i'm going to jail for trade money is the same as senate either way but instead when you say to a justice legalized bribery and i'm gonna give you a boom money so you can win this election and then hands get paid your salary and have the prestigious at our center and then when my kids come through for you i mean i give you maybe ten thousand cases with ten million you rule in my paper it's we've set up a system that encourages corruption and now we've done it for the judiciary it said terrible idea it is a terrible idea about what i'm curious about is you know we have some states that are now you know that still appoint judges the governor will point the judges for the state supreme court and in their other states who don't do that that don't do that they have um... the elections how do we know move back to all be having appointed judges within the state supreme courts will you have the one real that whole process back in so many different states goes every state has a different way and you gotta go state by state and try to make the judges on elected in appointed at the same time people so they get appointed by corrupt people anyway that's how we wound up with this wilbur supreme court in the first place when nixon figured out a lot and i just think people from like the chamber of commerce are people who say i swear i will always vote in favor of of the business interests not put them on the supreme court faster than the nineteen seventies aware that situation we have now how you dress all that you cut off the case cash to the politicians in the first place wolf dash back dot com on that same a m just set okay not a big deal warfare
