Vermont legislator proposing a law that bans code instructions on how to create firearms

[grarpamp]

> a fair judge

This seems rare... as in many democracies
and other forms, the judge is appointed at
leisure of executive, paid through executive
tax enforcement, etc. Some have legislative
oversight. Yet where is a design where the people
(criminal / rights courts), or at least the parties
to most cases heard (civil courts), are the
majority executive actors / payers,
and not just some fabled ultimate backstop?
