That discrepancy deserves all the attention in the world. That their public practices allow it to be visible is why I wrote that even by their own standards their practices are broken. Public space isn’t some black site in the Everglades, or who knows where ever else.

I like the idea of a rotating panel of appellate and district court judges. Broaden the pool to hundreds and randomize selection. But anything would be better than this farce.
