Creedocide - from "Important Things" with Demetri Martin
What if you sued a big corporation and won, but before the appeal they spent millions of dollars to help elect a sympathetic justice to the state Supreme Court? Let's say the verdict is then overturned with that judge's help. Would that be fair? Would it be fair for a judge that was endorsed by a newspaper to sit in judgment of that paper in some case? Looks like the US Supremes might be gearing up to decide what role big money elections should play in the judiciary.
