Someone has probably already answered this question but: When I lived there, Nebraska elected their judges and they could be voted out or recalled. I saw it happen to a crooked district judge, back in the 1970’s.

We have a long tradition in running judges out on a rail (or sending them to the federal level). But that isn't as common now. The rules have changed, and it is harder to do that now.

However, she actually ruled according to the law in this case. The Governor did not act according to the letter of the law, and bypassed the commission who has direct responsibility for projects like this.

There is a lot of politics on both sides. No one is really clean here.
