I understand that it's good tactics to categorize me as a close-minded, unobjective extremist, but nobody that respects me has those views.

Judges are the weakest link in our system of justice and they are also the most protected.

I don't think the law exists to arrive at the truth. If it did, we wouldn't have exclusionary rules, we wouldn't have presumptions of innocence, we wouldn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt. There's an enormous difference between the role of truth in law and the role of truth in science. In law, truth is one among many goals.

I'm worried about privacy because of the young people who don't give a damn about their privacy, who are prepared to put their entire private lives online.

When you discriminate against anyone, you discriminate against everyone. It's a display of terrible intolerance.
