	I know of a very good way to ensure that judges do follow
	the standards that they claim to follow.

	It works even better at making politicians keep all the
	election promises the make.

	Has one drawback --- it reduces the number of people willing
	to carry out those two functions to virtually zero.  OTOH, that
	probably would be a very good thing.
