Interactive Constitution

http://www.constitutioncenter.org/constitution/

"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office" (Constitution of the United States).

This means that the Judges are not elected to the courts, can hold their position as judge for as long as they are able and on "good behavior." Judges will be awarded for their noble work as long as they stay true to justice. If they engage in illegal actions, a judge could be impeached and their privileges are taken away.

I believe that it is important to have one well studied in law to decide the many issues that people have. It is more important that the Judicial Branch keeps the checks and balances system and keeps checking to make sure todays practices are constitutional. Unethical and unconstitutional acts need to be pointed out and made illegal. Judges need to be obedient to the law and not their personal beliefs. In the past, justices have made unlawful decisions based on their political or personal beliefs. This practice is wrong and they could be impeached for being untrue to the United States judiciary system. Good, uncorrupted judges can make important decisions that can change the world.
