The fallout from a recent case has federal circuit judges nervous – but legislating to protect them may be a step too far | Richard Ackland
The judiciary is already near unaccountable, so how wise is it to rush into extending immunity to cover the facts associated with Salvatore Vasta’s performance?
Federal circuit judges are nervously looking over their shoulders. A number of them will not hear cases where there is uncertainty about their jurisdiction – resulting in further delays or trials being sent upstairs to other federal courts.
This is not all federal judges – just the ones from the “inferior” level of the judicial food chain – the federal circuit court.
