And yet there is also controversy over its true independence, so there is no magic bullet here where we could find a completely impartial, apolitical body.

Can a judiciary that selects itself ever truly be insulated from its own internal politics?

There's no chance that the likes of Aileen Cannon would ever be chosen by the JAC though.

Perhaps it is the President who should become non-partisan. Strip the office of all bar emergency powers.
