The problem is a judge can be a 100% bigot, and yet be 100% legally safe for as long as he isn't openly proclaiming himself as such, and follows the process to its utmost.

You can't have a review board, or impeachment do anything with a judge with 100% black prosecution record just because it is such.

That's the paradox. Either you subject judiciary to political judgement, or you can't do anything about judges who are not politically impartial.

But the thing is that they had to apply the law differently to interject that bias/persecution. If you can show that they applied it differently based on race or some other factor, then it should be sufficient... if you have police and a DA that are willing to do their jobs (they aren't, cause they're all buddy buddy). Doing it this way (looking for discrepancy in fact of law without explaination) shouldn't involve politics.
