It is the Francis J. Mathew judges of the country against the Aileen Cannon judges of the country who will play a big role in deciding the future of our democracy. Luckily everyone is paying close attention despite the significant distractions (pandemic, recession, Trump's diarrhea of the mouth, media that has been neutered, etc.). If the basic functioning of our courts can not withstand this scrutiny, then we lost our democracy a long time ago. The judicial system withstood the Trumpanze blizzard of ca ca directed at it by Eastman-Giuliani-et al. It has always been the case that the court system is riddled with partisan judges, just ask any Black defendant or plaintiff's lawyer trying to hold Big Tobacco or any big corporation to account. I worry more about the determination of the prosecutors. If they are determined, adequately skilled and provided sufficient resources, MAGAs lose. Look at the prosecutions of the Insurrectionists. Yeah a few judges bent over backwards for the Insurrections but as a group they are getting adequately punished. Personally I'd like to see longer sentences as mentioned by Chief Judge of D.C. courts, but lots of defendants and some getting decent jail time.
Speaking of justice..."Stephen K. Bannon is expected to surrender to state prosecutors on Thursday to face a new criminal indictment, people familiar with the matter said, weeks after he was convicted of contempt of Congress and nearly two years after he received a federal pardon from President Donald Trump in a federal fraud case.
The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/06/bannon-border-wall-indictment/

Biased judges have always been a problem, but the GOP has gone into the business of wholesaling them.
