Based on his own opinion in the Moore case, Myron Thompson would've ruled the same way on this case. Hudspeth ain't a better judge than Easterbrook, though, and if you think that based on this one article you need to do a little homework.

So basically it boils down to the judge, or, in effect, the rule of men, not law. Thanks for making my point for me.

That is a remarkable twisting of my words. What I said is exactly to the contrary. The only difference between the decision of Hudspeth and the decision of Thompson is that they were faced with two very different cases. From everything in the Thompson decision, if he was faced with the facts in the case before Hudspeth he would've made the same call.
