but this thread was about placing the judge "in chains." Not doable unless you want to see our democracy scrapped. I don't and Jeb Bush won't consider it.

Since we don't live in a Demonacracy, but a Republic, I would have to disagree with you. Anyone who thinks that they rule the people of the United States, whether they be a President, an Elected Rep or a thug in black robes, needs to go to jail in chains so that the others are impressed that they do not MAKE laws, they enforce them. Right now we have loose cannons on the bench that are trying to legislate from the bench.

OK, nice try, it's a republic. Still governed by the rule of law, and a governor has no right to imprison a judge for giving a decision that (unfortunately) has been upheld by every other state and federal court, especially in light of Congress and the Florida legislature's failure to pass laws to do anything about it. We also can't go deciding that every time a judge makes an unfavorable ruling we are in a dictatorship. However, I sympathize with your concerns about this case and the judiciary.
