Another captive rubber stamp is not going to do US any good.

That judge will be biased in favor of the folks who pay him, just like the LEO.

We need someone there with authority that represents PASSENGERS only, that has the power to stop TSA impositions. If TSA causes someone to miss flights or other bookings, they must pay for it, on the spot. The current system, where pax pay for TSA screwups and retaliatory behavior, has to stop. It won't stop unless it starts costing TSA.
