Some judges are determined to strike down election integrity laws, no matter what.  How else can you explain last week’s irrational decision handed down by federal District Court Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos?

My Take - Anyone who has read Larry Klayman's book, WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment, or Mark Levin's, Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America, the federal judiciary is filled with incompetent political hacks who sacrificed law for ideology long before they were appointed to the federal bench.  All of which makes the argument there needs to be a Constituional Amendment to place age and term limits on the federal judiciary.  It's Time For a Twenty Eighth Amendment!
