Season 3, Episode 16 (Show 120): Doubting Thomas, and doubting the doubters

April 12, 2023

Here come the judges, and the justice.  Controversies left and right, from Wisconsin to Texas to Washington DC.  We sort it out.

Judges are in the news – all over it, in fact.  Donald Trump, arrested and charged, attacks the judge in his case, and the judge is under a microscope.  Deserved?  Meanwhile, a judge is elected in Wisconsin. Many say this is the result of actions other judges took in Washington last year, and judges in Wisconsin react – and find themselves under scrutiny, too.  Most prominently of all, a Supreme Court Justice’s lifestyle collides with disclosure requirements, drawing fire.  How can citizens view these controversies in a reasonably objective light, and what are the standards?  We take a shot at it.
