    The SEC isn’t running a court here. They are taking a case to an administrative court just like any other federal agency. Dude here wants to say that departments can’t do that. This would push everything into district courts and just back everything up.

      I would imagine these administrative judges aren't elected though, as one article says they're "promoted based on merit" which just means whoever has the best connections wins the spot (albeit they have to look somewhat good on paper for presentation)

      Maybe this isn't the way to go, but being able to directly/indirectly vote in or out judges I think would be in the public's best interest. Especially if the lack of a jury in these trials thing is true from that same article

        If these courts go then immigration courts should be next. They are literally part of that executive branch (specifically the attorney general’s office) and you can’t easily appeal to a real court.
