It
is
interesting
how
the
amount
of
money
you
have
can
change
how
you
treat
yourself.
Dead
broke?
Maybe
a
slice
of
bacon
on
your
McDouble.
Middle
class?
Why
not
upgrade
the
family
car.
So
rich
that
a
couple
$100k
missing
from
your
account
just
looks
like
a
rounding
error?
Buy
a
judge!
And
Supreme
Court
justices
aren’t
the
only
judges
on
the
market
either
—
just
take
a
look
at
Texas!
Bloomberg
Law
has
coverage:
Texas
Republicans
rode
financial
support
from
Elon
Musk
and
other
billionaires
in
the
state,
appearing
to
flip
23
intermediary
appeals
court
benches
held
by
Democrats.Although
results
weren’t
official
Wednesday
morning,
Republicans
seemed
to
win
all
but
one
of
32
contested
appeals
court
races
on
Tuesday,
a
stunning
degree
of
dominance
that
court
watchers
hadn’t
foreseen
entering
the
day.
Robert
Rowling,
Ken
Fisher,
and
Jeff
Hildebrand
are
some
of
the
other
billionaires
who
voted
with
their
dollars.
It
was
already
bad
enough
for
anyone
who
wanted
to
sue
Tesla
and
got
Reed
O’Connor,
but
it’ll
be
that
much
harder
to
fix
your
problem
by
having
your
judge
recuse
when
their
replacement
is
also
backed
by
billionaire
dollars.
