Claiming he no longer believes in punishment, a Vermont judge issued a 60-day sentence to a man who confessed to repeatedly raping a girl over a four-year period, beginning when she was 7 years old.
Here's another judge who should be impeached. He's obviously incapable of doing his job.
Anger is like most things: it can be used for good or evil. God gave humans the emotion of anger to spur us to appropriate action. We should be angry in the face of evil: the crime committed against this child should make us angry. We should also be angry in the face of injustice: the dereliction of this judge should make us angry and spur the appropriate people to impeach him.
The Bible even tells us to be angry, adding that we should not let it lead us into sin. Who could argue that Jesus wasn't angry when he denounced the Pharisees as snakes, etc.? Who could argue that Jesus wasn't angry when he ran the moneychangers out of the temple with a whip?

Idiots...no, morally depraved idiots like this on the bench (and he's far from the only one, maybe just one of the more extreme ones) are why the JAIL amendment got on the ballot. Good people are rapidly losing faith in our justice system--and that undermines the very fabric of our civilization.
