I think we are seeing how important it is that the people we trust with power be moral, and people of character.

Judges interpret laws, and how they interpret them is inevitably shaded and colored by their own moral view which shapes their thinking. You can not separate law from its underlying moral principles, and you can not have a man sit in judgement who is incapable of grasping those principles.

Judge Greer has shown himself to be unfit for public office. This case is his defining moment, and he has been found wanting. He is, sadly, not the only one, but he is emblematic of what is wrong in our judiciary.

"[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen onto any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man." Samuel Adams
