Major Reforms Hit PA Courts [VIDEO]

Re the changes in the PA courts, they sound very good. Makes you wonder why it took so long:

In this video, I explain some recently announced major reforms to Pennsylvania courts including a ban on judges hiring family and campaign donors, a requirement that judges disqualify themselves from cases involving campaign donors, and a ban on judges serving on corporate boards, providing some often hard-to-believe context along the way of examples of real judicial behavior in the state that these reforms would have prevented (or at least punished).

If we could get something done about the SC justices not being required by law to recuse themselves when they have a Conflict of Interest, but allowing them to continue on the 'honor system', we might have defeated Citizens United. There was a clear conflict of interest with Clarence Thomas regarding Citizens United but he refused to recuse himself and is not compelled to do so by law unfortunately.

Good reforms and good luck with your show.
