It's no secret on this board that I hold very little faith in the judicial decisions handed down by the judges on the bench over the last 30 years, but if one does a comprehensive study on major judicial decisions based on cases over the constitution, one would most likely agree that judges are about as reliable as a jury of peers.....and that's not a good thing.
