If all the position required was enforcing the law and rendering judgments, it would be easy to find someone. Obviously, it must be said that there's political involvement. The decisions we make naturally have a political impact and affect people's reputations. We live in the age of social media, where everything is always exaggerated. We have to be careful what we say, among other things. It's easy to say something we think is legal and correct, but it could be taken the wrong way.
I think that's probably one reason why people are reluctant to take on this position. I, for one, have always held very controversial positions. So it's something I'm used to; I don't have a problem with it.
