Justify! A judge sits in court to justify the truth and evidence thereby giving justice to the right party. An example of a judge "justifying" his decision was witnessed at a morning briefing in the Thomas More building on May 7th 2000 when HH Edward Evans Lombe replied to a question from a female barrister, concerned that the he had given his verdict to her opponent when all the evidence was in her clients favour, "Yes, yes, my dear" and extending his arm with a motion as patting her on the head, "it was his turn to have a win, come and see me next time you are up before me, and I shall oblige you with a win." Now tell me why judges should be exempt from scrutiny?
