Partisan Judges Should Be Removed from the Justice System (Moral Philosophy)

Americans deserve impartial and fair treatment and when they don't it creates long-term damage to trust. Partisanship has been a disease in our society and it has impacted officials and individuals (We should expect that and in some cases that is the intent.). Partisan judges pervert the rule of law to protect their personal-political values and beliefs with little consideration for the needs of society. When they protect corruption and encourage hate, they should be removed from the bench. 

(It's a party-neutral comment and there has been growing discussion on the damage to society from partisan judges of any kind.)

Seems simple enough, doesn't it? Yet things are not so simple, are they? 

The devil is in the details and protections when judges have agendas, biases (race and religion), or extreme political leanings. Protections are few and far between. The risks can grow if we do not find mechanisms to mute partisanship and its influence on our daily lives. Consider institutional damage in Trust and Confidence in Justice and some possible reasons in The Drives of Institutional Trust and Distrust.

We should protect what we all believe in and cherish as a community, people, and nation. Creating mechanisms that limit the influence of partisanship, ideological bigotries, clannism, and poor logical-moral judgments is important for maintaining long-term trust.

No partisanship is needed in keeping our streets and citizens safe. Where they can, it is beneficial to vote out partisan and political judges to protect the institution from itself. Support each other to draw our nation's leaders back to the center of our universalized American values. It's becoming increasingly important for the young to start moving into positions of authority to ensure the ship doesn't get too far off its agreed upon course.

Side Note:

I'm less concerned about which religion or book these come from but for their deeper message. We can learn from almost all major religions on universal treatment of people. A few of our judges seem to have forgot the purpose of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. How do you sell the concept of America to them? Fundamental Freedoms

"Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right."- Psalm 106:3 💁  There is a statement posted in most/all courtrooms that does not differentiate on specific religion, race, clan, background, color or politics. 

A secular moral philosophy you can consider is "If it were not for injustice, man would not know justice."- Heraclitus
