"I may be Captain Obvious, but someone this biased shouldn’t be a judge. How he rose up the ranks into his position is beyond me."

I understand and commiserate, but the fact is that our nation's law schools are inundated with liberals, who choose who gets accepted, and who determine the curriculum. They promote group think, and there are few groups in the nation more arrogant (with less reason) than law professors.

That we have any reasonable and conservative judges is somewhat miraculous. Regarding 'rising up through the ranks', in all walks of society this is determined less by talent and hard work, and more by politics. It's just the way things are - but they need to change.

I think a lot of it has to do with the color of the chump’s skin.
