And it’s the reason judgments were mandated by law - because people were sick and tired of do-gooder judges letting off hardened criminals just because the criminal was worth a little pity in the judge’s opinion. You know, the guy up for murder who’s had dozens of assault, battery, other crimes on his rap sheet and has done only a few months in jail for ALL of them.
Huckabee is of this mold - he pardoned more rapists, murderers and other serious criminals than any governor in any state ever did. More than Bill Clinton ever did even as president. And he did this, HE says, because Jesus told him it was a Christian thing to do. What a disaster.
For my part, I’m tired of judges thinking they know better than the legislature
Oh, I know why. I just disagree. Vehemently. A knee-jerk solution if there ever was one... Limiting the judges in this way was the wrong way to fix it. Better to remove the judge and replace him with one who has the wisdom necessary for the job. That is where the problem lies.
