Why don't we address the incompetence and and misconduct rife in the judicial branch? That will cut down on the threats.
One major issue is that everything is considered so secret that you can't subpoena past complaints even if they contain exculpatory evidence. That's right, they will protect the image of the judiciary even if it means letting an innocent person be found guilty. They reason that secrecy is the best way to preserve public trust in the judicial system. As anyone knows, that's just BS - transparency, or at least allowing subpoenas, would be the best way to ensure the proper actions are being taken.
You can probably tell, but I've had some bad experiences with a magistrate and judge recently. Magistrates in my state aren't even required to be lawyers nor pass the bar...
