Who watches the people wearing the black robes?

Texas has more elected judges than almost any state in the entire United States, and with that much power comes the occasional scandal — From questionable gifts to courtroom outbursts and even judges claiming divine guidance.

In this episode, University of Houston political science professor and Party Politics co-host, Brandon Rottinghaus, dives into how the state of Texas disciplines its judges and how ordinary Texans can keep an eye on them before their bad behavior spirals out of control.

Featured Guest: Justice Ken Wise, Place 7 on the Texas 14th Court of Appeals
