Rejecting the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill
I would vote against the passage of the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill first because the
Federal courts' conditions are not convincing that they could merit such bone-crushing
legislation. The legislation does not sound constitutional; therefore, I have thoughtful doubts
about the commission's capacity to practice fairness and whether it would be able to stop
imposing improper impact upon judges. This is because I believe that a Federal Judge’s duty is
limited to making decisions on controversies and cases but not meddling in other people’s duties.
Since the bill is of questionable constitutionality, I would not vote for it to pass. The bill
does not clearly establish its intentions, and it would be disastrous if it would have adverse
spillover effects. It sounds as though it is an attempt by the president to stack the court and
establish a baneful precedent. With all the powers vested upon him by the law, he would
occasionally dismiss those judges who tend to disregard the new law, with an intention that they
should make rulings based on his decisions. Appointing a new judge to the federal court simply
because the current judge has hit the retirement age, with the desire of having younger and new
blood into the system, may not be as efficient as thought. This is because, even at an old age,
judges can as well have the potential to deliver quality services regardless of their age because of
the long-term practical experience. The definitions of the procedures, disability and misconduct
set forth do not provide an assurance to the accused procedural and substantive due process.

I would also vote against the passing of the bill because it constitutes a threat to the
federal judges' freedom. The account is likely to be an attack on the courts; therefore, it will not
succeed in restoring the court to its initial historical position. The proposal would infringe upon
the religious and civil liberties held in high regard by America's citizens. There would be a
possibility of using the commission as an instrument to eliminate some judges for personal
political desires based on judicial philosophy, especially during a time of national crisis.
