We're seeing the fulfillment of the Book of Judges here in our own time - every man doing that which is right in his own eyes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our role as judges is to interpret the law.
But one way or another, judges perform a very vital function in our society. They have a risky job and they are entitled to security.
But I do believe this - I believe that fundamentally, society is headed in the right direction or wants to head in the right direction, and I think judges have an obligation to try to help it head there.
There is in each of us a stream of tendency, whether you choose to call it philosophy or not, which gives coherence and direction to thought and action. Judges cannot escape that current any more than other mortals.
Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
All judges have cases that touch our passions deeply, but we all struggle constantly with remaining impartial.
In the fallen there is danger of pride and vainglory, since they prefer their own judgment to the judgment of everyone else, usurping what is not their own by setting themselves up as judges in their own cause when the rightful judge is their superior.
Unfortunately, what many people forget is that judges are just lawyers in robes.
Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable.
No one ever judges their own self.
