On 12-23-23, the Washington Post penned an article that "Law enforcement investigating threats to Colorado justices after Trump ruling", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
Judicial decisions have usually been accepted for the wisdom contained in the written opinions of jurists (usually judges who are considered experts on the social science behind legislated laws).
But who has time to read them and consider or put their thought towards the depth of reason they represent. If it doesn't agree with the way I thought it should be, it is to be condemned. And besides, didn't the media also publish some derogatory information on this or that jurists being associated with the wrong political party or being seen with...them?
That seems to be the crux of reporting lately and it is a dangerous reflection again on threats to our democratic society. Simply put folks, there has to be some final authority for decisions, and those decision makers must have our confidence of doing what's best for us all. After all, those decision makers have no armed and ready force that mandates their decisions. Just the logic and reason of their words.
So, lets endeavor to accept them as that authority unless or until we find a better legislative way to deal with the problem it poses to our sensibilities. In short, find what appeals to the intelligence of the majority.
