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?
