If the opposite party doesn’t object then this bad question gets asked and answered which is Injustice, because it’s bias etc even though everyone in the room may have heard the bad question.
but the lawyer just didn’t object and the judge should step in and say to ask the question differently but instead they just allow this injustice question I don’t understand why.
Update: ok thank you I realized that people say it’s not the judge’s job now this doesn’t solve the problem and if they ask bad questions they need to be told these are bad questions instead of just consistently making the other person object because these bad questions will get through eventually unless you do a million objections I just feel like this is quite suboptimized it should be everyone in the room saying objection if they hear about question not just the other team if I sew a criminal and the police officer I wouldn’t just leave it up to the police officer to capture the criminal I’d point to the criminal and say this is a criminal

The judge can do that, if they think the question was asked in a way that conflicts with the law. Usually, the lawyers object first because it’s their job to get the best outcome for their client so they are invested in looking for these issues. But judges have to keep their courtroom orderly and legal, and part of that is dismissing questions that aren’t legally sound
