Nope. I shared the story, said the judge probably knows more about it than a random internet poster, and added that it will be appealed.

So no idea why you wrote that in the above paragraph.

Judges are like any other profession, there are some who are very good and there are some who are not.  The high end judges are able to remove themselves from their decisions, the not so good ones are not.  This would be an example of the latter.  Did you agree with every opinion by Judge Scalia?  If not, why?  Not only was he a judge he was a supreme court justice.  Surely he knows the law better than you?

I don't have to "agree" with any of the rulings. However I do trust that they understand the law better than I do. Like I trust the plumber understands his job better. If I see something I disagree with I will say so and question it.

is simply because you disagree with the ruling and kinda neat to watch how you can say *this* judge is biased by his own opinions but the judge who will agree with you is not.
