I'm not a lawyer or a judge so my opinion is uneducated at best in this area.
The way I understand it, is that many decisions made in courts regarding the legality of laws and their enforcement is done largely by precedent. That is, lawyers and judges use the rulings of prior cases to decide the legality or constitutionality of the case they are arguing. If this is true, then this judge was entirely correct in his decision.
I have to say, though, that arguing for the execution of a judge whose decision we disagree with is a bit dramatic.
