#5  Shakespeare was right - "first, kill all the lawyers". There are a small percentage of lawyers that do good work, understand the law, and try their best to do what's right. There are too many, however, that use the John Edwards model of legal behavior. It gets worse when such "lawyers" become judges. Hangin's too good for 'em. They need to be staked to the top of our tallest mountains in their "briefs" - for about a year.

#4  We should replace them with computers. Data processes 24-7-365, and not the standard 4 hour judge's day

Computers don't program themselves....

#2  Ouch! My last entry on judicial power would look out of context to anyone who was unaware that bin Laden's fellow cockroach remains in the UK because robed savages feel he could face anti-islamist justice, should he be deported to countries that are plagued by his terror. Yah, ROBED SAVAGES.

#1  Unelected judges should not be making public policy, anywhere. Most who wear the robe, treat the office as a means to personal ideological ends. If a judge identifies him or herself as a muslim, fascist, communist, etc, and not an impartial law bound creature, then justice can't be served.

Reminder: SCOTUS judges do NOT write their own decisions; they order Law Clerks to do that. That fact was concealed until the mid seventies when a NYC law firm told the NY Times that a prospect for employment had cited several SCOTUS findings as his own work. Put in the position of either affirming or denying the claim, the robed clowns admitted that their role was merely directive.

Personal note: I have seen actual judicial affairs documents, that direct case citations that court administrators find are appropriate to specific issues that arise. Generally, judges are either liberal or conservative and use whatever tools are given to them, to jump through their chosen ideological hoops. We should replace them with computers. Data processes 24-7-365, and not the standard 4 hour judge's day.
