Thank you.
I think that by and large I would agree. This is legislation that was called for, but in light of this testimony that we've heard, it does raise the prospect: If your recourse is an appeal to the Supreme Court, is that real external judicial oversight? Is that realistic? I don't know if there's any analogous scenario in any other field. The consequences are severe: being removed from the bench and losing one's pension.
In your mind, should it matter that the people on that final panel are judges? Is that why we would be letting it slide in this case, in that we're dealing with judges passing judgment over a peer versus some other group that has a peer discipline model?
