Question of the Day: LSAT Logical Reasoning
Recent evidence has shown that there are a growing number of judges who are corrupt – that is, they are being paid, either with money or prestige, to rule in favor of certain parties. This corruption does not end at the judicial level, however: it often extends into the executive and legislative branches, which contain officials who are often complicit in the bribery. Therefore, to prevent such corruption, judges should not be appointed by the executive branch. Rather, they must be elected by a direct vote of the people.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
The legislative branch is able to create new laws which limit the power of judges to control the fate of parties in the legal system.
Bribery is most common among judges who belong to the same political party as the executive officials who appointed them.
Some of the officials in the executive branch who appoint judges are themselves elected officials, and are politically motivated to distance themselves from scandals.
Judges who are appointed can be removed from office every four years by a direct vote of the people.
Judges who are bribed almost always have been in office for several years without ever being bribed, and have had no prior knowledge or indication that bribery would occur.
