Just because the USA broken system is that way doesn’t mean it’s the norm, nor should it be how it’s actually done.

How can you be an impartial judge on something you don’t know anything about? They need to know the law, the relevant materials, and comprehend it.

So yea, they NEED to be knowledgeable, and if they are using “personal interpretations” instead of established, they aren’t fit to be a judge.

Just because this is allowed by your corrupt system doesn’t make it okay to allow dude.

It’s literally in the word “impartial” means. OP is saying they want biased judges who judge with their emotions instead of objectively.

You're arguing against things nobody brought up. Nobody said judges shouldn't be impartial or knowledgeable. It's also not about ”personal interpretation“.

But judging is all but black and white. A lot of laws have wiggle room to varying degrees, and for a reason. Because no two cases are identical and intents and knowledge have to be able to be taken into account. That's why laws are usually a little vague.
For example, a sentence for assault and battery has a degree of freedom (when the suspect is found guilty), the punishment can vary from a fine (of varying hights) to a time in prison (from a few months to some years).

Just because the USA broken system

Stop making everything about that shithole of a country. Stop Killing Games isa european initiative towards EU laws ffs.

Dude, I know you are upset with your legal system. Who wouldn't? But we are discussing EU here.
