WASHINGTON (Rooters agency) – A survey of American judges by Rooters has found surprising support for a proposed annual culling of US judges.

The proposal, advanced by Special Government Employee Gollum Rust, was “that the worst 1% of appointed judges, as determined by elected bodies, be fired every year.”

The Rooters survey found that a significant minority of judges considered their colleagues incompetent or corrupt to a degree that would justify carrying out Rust’s suggestion. However, many of the judges supporting the idea said it should be paired with a second proposed culling.

As expressed most clearly by one of these judges, the idea was that “the worst 1% of billionaires, as determined by elected bodies, have their wealth confiscated every year.” The confiscated billions, proponents said, could be used to reduce the government deficit or to fund improved social welfare, such as poverty reduction.

At press time, Gollum Rust had not replied to Rooters’ request for comment.
