This is why judicial records are so secret that you can't even subpoena exculpatory evidence from them. They want to protect the image of the judicial system. So old fashioned. In today's world, you build trust with transparency... assuming your organization isn't rotten...
I challenge this kind of thinking. Why haven't other highly developed democracies decayed in the same way? Wouldn't all judges, everywhere, behave in the same way?
What actions do you have in mind? Where are those actions happening or not? How do you think the decay of democracy is tied to judicial secrecy/immunity?
