Judges don't lobby other judges.

What does this have to do with anything? Do you have any idea how an appeal works? At the end of the day the appellate panel has to write an opinion. Since the facts are not reasonably in dispute here, it is entirely an issue of law. These 3 judges are going to work hard to try to get a legal argument right that will fly at the next level, either the State SC or the Federal Court of Appeals (since this is a 4th amendment case). The lobby power of a sitting lower court judge is rather minimal at that level. And it will be appealed as high as it has to be since the ACLU is on one side of this case and that is what they do, and I would guess that at some point we will see our good friends Tribe or Dershowitz or some such on it.

And I will cheer that because we have idiots willing to burn our constitution whenever it suits the political whim of the moment.

Why is siding with the US constitution seen as anti-American?
