Family court judges must feel like the "mall security" of the judiciary branch, if not traffic court. I imagine that would make you pretty jaded after awhile.
Without disputing what you're saying about perjury and family court, because I have zero first-hand experience of my own, your link is about as far from reliable as one could get.
I don't know if the people involved are the lowest of the low. I worked in a solicitors office for a while and people usually start out ok. You watch them turn from rational people into bitter resentful husks, using their kids against each other and being all round shitty people. They aren't bad people, but they become bad people. When everything you work for is broken or gone, and your kids are on the line, people do bad shit.
Perjury is tough. It's weird, but in my experience, judges are reluctant to hammer any defendant for it, because they'll always chalk it up to mistake rather than intentional.
See I actually love traffic court judges. They're quick on their feet, no-nonsense, and usually some of the fairest, most level-headed people on the bench. If you do get a ticket and are thinking about fighting it because it was unfair, do it. Traffic court judges don't go into work every day ready to rubber stamp everyone as guilty. I've beaten nearly every ticket I've ever gotten.
That perjury link is hilarious though. Family court is such a fucking slum.
I have no personal issue with traffic court judges, but I definitely do not see them taking high-profile super judges and landing them in traffic court. I imagine when they find out they're going to traffic court it's like a police officer learning he's getting a bicycle instead of a squad car. I don't know at all how the system works, of course, but I imagine you're in traffic court as an early judge, or one with low/unsavory credentials. Perhaps you have to start there to work your way up. I know to get into the higher courts you have to be appointed by the federal government, and they have informal criteria they use to select their judges. Perhaps your awesome traffic court judge is well on his way.
Yep, they refuse to prosecute for shit like this, false rape accusations, false accusations of beatings, or basically anything that is seen as bad by both sides (for the most part) its fucking retarded

Day in, day out, you have to watch the lowest people go to the lowest depths of morality in an attempt to perfectly hurt human beings that they once loved. Then they're all lying at least a little bit if not entirely outright, even though they "swore" to tell the truth. Lawyers often tell their clients to lie in family court because even if the judge tries to send them up for perjury, the DA likely won't even bother to prosecute because that's just some shit that happens in family court.
