Saw this via my Twitterstream a few days ago and somehow still managed to be shocked. This is yet another story that should be making headline news but isn't because it suggests something is wrong with the system--how do judges like these make it to the bench? How many more like these are still on the bench and are getting away with it? For Christ's sake--Bush was whining about "activist judges." What about judges that are on the take at the expense of the futures of some American children? Aren't these greedy judges, in fact, a bigger threat than judges who think the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional?
Of course--but we can't admit that on National TV because it would undermine the public trust in the justice system. Of course, some of us have already lost trust in it.
