He should be kicked off the bench.

Obama would have loved to have chosen this judge as his Supreme Court justice nominee.

The blood those criminals spill next time, will be on his hands as well, hope the voters remember this. Wonder if all those who thought what he did was right will feel different if it's one of their loved ones who gets robbed, raped, or killed.

There are laws that must be followed. Criminals still have a right to council. If you send them to trial without council it will conflict with the sixth amendment. He had no choice but to release them. We are no longer Guilty until proven innocent. You either do it the right way, or no way at all. This will force the state to do their job. I applaud this Judge for having the GUTS to stand up for what's right under the law.
