   Perhaps not.  But then if elected they can be replaced.  How many judges   
   get the axe for incompetency in Canada?  Heck, there should be a GE like   
   quota system.   
      
   Like politicians, once on too long they all begin to stink so change   
   often!  Unless of course you find a good one.   
      
   Judges like any other profession have their bad ones, so cite how the   
   bad ones are removed?  Short of ticking off a politician, I have never   
   herd of one getting the boot off the bench.  And I really doubt they are   
   that pure.  Maybe purely corrupted.   
   --   
   Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted   
   behavior in USA.  Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
