Most JUDGES are good and learned people. A few are dumb and ignorant asses. Some are very corrupt. They need to be very up on rules of evidence and procedure..what is admissable and what is not. Some are meaner than a wild bull infested with TSE TSE flies. Or ZSA ZSA Gabor when hassled by a traffic cop. They can be Moderate, Liberal or Conservative...whatever all that malarky means...but they need to be even handed.
