If we allow politicians\u2019 tactics to succeed, the consequences will be far-reaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe judiciary\u2019s integrity will be compromised, leading to widespread disillusionment with the justice system. The independence of the judiciary is crucial to our democratic system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompromising this independence will have devastating consequences for our democracy.
