so now he holds the same power as a citizen!
what power would that be?
That's doomerism friend. He has the power to use his knowledge of the legal system and his status as a famous judge
it's not doomerism, it's the truth.
who do those things influence?
not the legal system, because now he has to work within the legal system and not on-top-of the legal system.
as far as being a "famous judge" does that mean Judge Judy has more power than him since she's more famous?

wrong!
the judge has more power because they can set precedent.
