That’s one way to say you don’t know the judiciary’s current status
Also I think you accidentally put your quote as Rise. Lead. Deliver. instead of Rise. Lead. Dictate.

what? 
Through my dive into the courts server and their docket over the past week, I’ve concluded that yes, the courts do function at a speed greater than acceptable. Most, if not all, of the delay in cases have come due to either the plaintiff/prosecutorial attorney and the defense attorney themselves. The judges and justices that sit on the bench do their jobs quite well and in a timely manner. In recent times, as with every single year, the holiday season has just concluded. Counselors, Judges and Justices have taken leaves of absence to be with family during these holiday times, just getting back as recently as this week.
Having taken a dive, I’ve looked at the longest running cases currently on the docket, these include State V T_ripped, State v T_xom (672), State v Rewingtons, State v T_xom (727), County v Swedish , State v LawFedora, State v Dudedontsus, and State v Coreshade. All of these cases have been ongoing for 6 months or longer.
I am more than willing to debate with you about whether or not the judiciary is functioning well or at great speeds, but these are 3 cases as an example and all the aforementioned cases have nearly the exact same issues.
State v T_ripped
This case has been ongoing since August of 2024. Through a look into the case, the defendant and the state had to be reminded by Chief Justice Dannyboy to respond countless times, sometimes with days in a lapse of attention to this case, not by the Justice but by the parties involved themselves. Further, through multiple times in this trial, the counsel for the state changed. Not once, not twice, but three times, that in and of itself constitutes a delay in the case so that the state prosecutor is able to get up to speed. Nothing involved in this courtroom falls on the shoulders of the presiding Justice, and not the courts, but the counselors involved.
State v T_xom (#672)
A case ongoing since June of 2024. A 4 day delay in the state counselor presenting discovery due to circumstances out of their control, defense counsel on LOA for a majority of the month of July. An 8 day leave presented by the judge overseeing the case. Another 3 day delay by the counselors involved in the case. A 7 day delay by the defense counsel being out of state on an emergency, totaling a nearly 33 day delay due to no response (the counselor was nearly issued contempt of court for this.) Another 5 day delay by the state counselor in responding to the case. Another 2 day delay by the defense counsel. I could continue to go on here, there are nearly 3 months of delay here caused by the counselors involved, and this is going to continue as I go through these cases.
State v Rewingtons
A case ongoing since July of 2024. Plea deal, Voir Dire continuing for an extremely long time, the most recent update is from 4 days ago where the jury was seen ineligible, Voir Dire is still ongoing. These things happen in jury trials, its a quirk of the state and our constitution.
Now I could continue on this, go through every single case on the docket and tell you why the majority of all the slowdown is caused by counselors failing to respond, sidebars, or a holdup in jury selection but I don’t want to bore you, or anyone, to death. But to say that the Judiciary does not function at a great speed is not a truth. When I ran for governorship nearly 3 years ago, cases had been on the docket and ongoing for periods of well over a year, if memory serves me correctly there was a case almost reaching 2 years old at that time. I will admit, yes, I do not know what goes on behind closed doors, what happens in the JMP or what happens in judicial chambers, nor the effectiveness and speed of the Judiciary behind those closed doors.
My plans are to confirm a new Associate Justice and a judge, and I will stick true to that plan. The entire judiciary will have my full support and vetting for nominations to the bench, further the DOJ will have my full support on the hiring of vacancies within their office(s) should the need arise. The issue of inactivity on the part of counselors involved in a case does not fall on the shoulders of the judiciary, else in cases of extreme delay and needs for contempt, nor does it fall on the shoulders of the executive branch (save the Attorney General.) The Interest in the law side of this state has been on a slight increase over the past few months with multiple new lawyers passing the bar and showing interest in being retained attorneys for departments and those moving towards state prosecution and public defense.
TL:DR;
The majority of slowdowns happen due to counselors involved in the case, not by the court itself save extreme instances. There is nothing the Governor can do in this regard unless the issue is the Attorney General themselves. I will support both the DOJ and the Judiciary in all their needs, be that hiring or nominations to the bench.

While this is true for some cases, it’s not always the case.
A primary issue is that cases take MONTHS to be docketed after being filled (see County v. Dijigrl). While the pending cases is currently pretty empty this is not usually the case.
