"Argumentum ad Hominem (abusive and circumstantial): the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing a statement or an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument." You attacked the judge's cirumstances ("a Carter appointee") rather than addressing the statement. Perfect example. Sorry.
What do YOU think about Liberal Judges? It is a pretty consistent perspective among conservatives that Liberal Judges are simply wrong and should not be granted any assumption of legitimacy for their decisions.
What Kind of conservative are you who does not feel this way?
