Yeah, there’s two problems with this.
The idea we’re talking about wouldn’t work anyway. The problem is, many of the state supreme court judges are also batshit.
The only way round this is to copy other countries that have functional judicial systems and stop making judges either political appointments or directly elected. They need to be professionals selected on merit, and firable, or at least replaceable after a term, if they’re incompetent.
