I agree that this is as it should be (appointed judges). But the point of citing this in the article was to distinguish unelected judges from elected legislators. Legislators make laws, judges interpret them. Sometimes, judges cross the line and make laws also. Consider capital punishment, illegal immigration, abortion rights, same-sex marriage. I'm a strong supporter of same-sex marriage but don't recognize the right of a judge to impose it on the populace (as was done in California and elsewhere). Keep this in political perspective - Obama and Biden don't support same-sex marriage period. My sense is that just about everybody, on the left and on the right, has issues with aggressive activist judges. I don't see this issue as branding the author of the article as loonie at all.
