Do you consider Judge Birth of the 11th Circuit to be part of the "runaway judiciary"? He's one of the most socially conservative judges on the federal bench.

I don't know anything about Judge Birth, but that being said, I will work to impeach ANY Judge that legislates from the Bench. Be they Conservative or Liberal I care not.

That is not their job, we have a Legislature for that, it's why we have 3 equal branches of government. Each has a check on the other, or at least is supposed to have.

Thing is, these judges have not been legislating from the bench. They have been following the laws as written. The blame lies with the law and the legislature, not with the judges. The judicial activism here would be if the judges had ruled in favor of the Schindlers. Blame the Florida legislature, not the judges.
