How about actually sentencing someone to jail? Man, I don't like how he ruled on my motion, out he goes. What? He didn't buy the dog bite story? Gone. He evicted someone just for not paying rent? Get rid of him. Do you begin to understand the problem with simply removing judges? That's not even getting into how it takes years for the Court of Appeals (the only entity who can actually remove a judge) to remove a judge for actual malfeasance. The debate isn't about a judge laying down fines and rulings that a defendant "doesn't like" but rather the argument that the judge's ruling is biased by personal, political, ideological or other factors unrelated to the law and the facts of the case when making the ruling. 1 1
