Insurance companies don't buy judges. This is really just nonsense.

The thing is, judges work for the government, this means, no matter how illegal a law is, they will always take the government side of it.

For example, the constitution doesn't give the government the power to regulate insurance at the federal level, but judges will rule based on the assumption it does because they are government employees and wouldn't be able to keep their jobs otherwise.



Judges are elected in that area, and the insurance company paid for his re-election campaign. So, yes, judges CAN be bought, and it was legal too.
