If the legislature does not have the power to shift the burden of proof, they have the power to require reimbursement for lawyers fees and court costs if a self defense claim prevails in court.

He’s right, actually. No one has any rightful authority over other people. So he doesn’t, either.

Because every liberal knows only judges can legislate.

Who’s got the power to impeach rogue judges like Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Milton Hirsch?

A judge does not have the power to legislate from the bench. He should be impeached for crimes against the state’s constitution. Do that a few times and judges will straighten up and fly right.

Rather than trust judges I would prefer requiring a decision to prosecute be reviewed by a three or four person panel or prosecutors and require unanimous assent of same to approve.

There may be States where a preponderance of officials are anti-gun rights but such places probably don’t have SYG laws anyway.

Naturally, loser pays (especially if it’s the State) is all good, though many people could run out of funds long before they ever won to get reimbursed.

I would go further, on general principal, and eliminate any form of civil liability unless there is actually a conviction for a crime. That way there would be no “wrongful death” lawsuits brought as a further form of legal harassment.

(I normally bring up this last in relation to asset forfeiture)

Legislatures MAKE LAW .... judges don't.

Pound sand, judge.

I am so fed up with liberal judges legislating from the bench. The American judicial system is worthless. Judges like him should be disbarred

“Hanging Judge” needs to take on a new meaning.

Dear Judgie:

They do, and they already did, and you can try to enforce YOUR viewpoint all by your little pinhead self.

Circuit Judge Milton Hirsch intensely dislikes the "Stand Your Ground" concept.

"Why should you get to "Stand Your Ground" when I have to keep moving my desk and changing my stapler?"

Some Florida legislator should bring up exactly that bill. Then we would have BOTH: prosecutor has burden of proof, AND payment to defense lawyer comes out of prosecutor's budget if jury decides it was self-defense.
