It seems insane to me that the US system lets you literally specify the exact judge (that you've already bought and paid for) as the only judge that can hear cases against you. And that the system is basically OK with this.

It's also insane that a judge with a vested interest in one of the claimants, doesn't have to automatically recuse themselves.

They do... It's just not expected that they won't

Pains of being a prototype democracy and all... If only the founding fathers had explicitly told us our system would need reform as issues came up
