(11,101 posts)for not seeking the death penalty more often? Would you be just as pleased if the judge was criticizing prosecutors for not filing child neglect charges against everyone with a drug case that has kids? My guess is would would be outraged and call her a blockhead. I realize you like the message. So do I. As I said, I agree with it. I also believe in a neutral judiciary. Judges from the Supreme Court on down are already too political and far too many judges see themselves are "super prosecutors", instead of truly neutral referees. A judge really shouldn't have an opinion about what charges get filed and what charges don't. It is not a judge's job. I don't particularly understand your comparison to school teachers. Judges aren't school teachers. I do appreciate the discussion.
