We already have Administrative Law Judges (ALJ). You can get tied up in a "court" hearing with a person that has never practiced law as a "judge". This happens in administrative offices like Child Protective Services, the Social Security Administration, state unemployment agencies, and even the ATF. You can eventually appeal yourself out of these idiot-run hearings, but if you make a misstep like a missed hearing call or late form within the complex process you get denied justice.

Thanks for teaching me something new, albeit highly concerning. Can you imagine how bad it might get if an administration that promotes unitary executive theory took control? Oh, boy. We'd be in some hot water then.
