Overruled

We don’t get MTV Hits in Germany, so I don’t know who Dorian Davis is, but he makes a heck of a lot of sense.
In the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, it is perfectly legal to finance and train terrorists--and harbor them--but illegal to say the Pledge of Allegiance...

Oddly, modern liberalism is predisposed to believe these judges are infallible and enlightened, and ought to be entitled to override the majority opinion on issues like abortion and gay marriage. Poppycock.

A few questions for liberals. 1) Are judges smarter than we are? 2) What makes them smart? 3) Law school? 4) Is Anton Scalia smart? 5) If not, why? 6) If so, then who do you actually trust to make decisions about abortion and gay marriage--voters, or a panel of nine Anton Scalias? 7) Finally, if you preferred the voters to Anton Scalia, then why on earth should the rest of us put our fates in the hands of the Ruth Bader Ginsbergs or the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals?
