Gary D.:We just lost a legal battle and the results really suck.
Well before I joined this team there has been a confidence vote to become a member. The same goes for the SRU, HNT and any other teams that have to function as a team to ensure the safety of it’s members.
A single “NO” vote is an all “NO” vote. The results are to stay within the team and never be released to anyone outside the team.
Well tonight at briefing we got the news that some flippin judges and attorneys with nothing else to do sued us and won. The confidence vote is now, for the most part being ruled an illegal act.

Sounds like a very sensible act to restrict nepotism.
Having seen similar situations where a publicly funded institution turned into a private club for family and friends I can only agree with the "flippin judges and attorneys with nothing else to do" that have put time and effort into keeping things democratic.
Try to step back a little from this side of things and try to look at this more professionally. Work with it and make sure the team professional requirements are done right. Maybe psychotechnical aptitude testing of trainees to test reactions under pressure and a probationary period etc.
