We need to start a serious judge impeachment movement in this country and remove these godless, unelected tyrants from their dictatorships.
I don't know anything about the facts of this case, but Kozinski is generally a pretty good conservative judge.
I've read a lot of 9th circuit decisions, and he's generally one of the few voices of sanity. Can't remember the name of the case now, but I recall he wrote a blistering dissent in a 9th circuit case brought by the ACLU which challenged a law regulating abortion in Guam a few years ago. His dissent in that case was worthy of Scalia, and was anything but pro-ACLU. As is often true when a case is appealed, there is likely more to this than the article discusses.
On the other hand, there is a general tendency by the liberals to try to remove any reference to religion from public life. If they succeed, we're toast.
The Tyranny of the Minority strikes again. I have one suggestion-When ANYONE is running for ANY elected office, even dog catcher, I want their political party affiliation listed right next to their name.
This goes for judges especially. I'm tired of having to guess about this- or having to make an extra call to find out if my party endorses them.
I asked about putting the party name of judges on the ballot once and was told "judges are supposed to be impartial, therefore it's not necessary to put what political party they are registered with."
This is pure BS. Especially since there are "activist" judges. The people have a right to know what party these candidates identify themselves with. There needs to be a D or R next to every name on the ballot.
