It should be pointed out the judges are federal appointments and not local people.
> judges are federal appointments
True
> ...and not local people
Generally false.
District and Circuit Court judges are very often local people and historically the appointments are strongly influenced by the Senators in the area served (particularly, but not exclusively, when they share a party with the President.)
Absolutely. Look at marijuana. Most people I meet that oppose legalization also oppose the government defining their moral values. It's backwards.
apparently they have a lot of experience with tyrannical government.
It's the people that demand the gun rights against the government whose state officials vote themselves "protection" from being filmed in public.
