Who would you rather appoint as a judge?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Inks

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I thinks Inks would prefer to be judge, jury and executioner, no?  

[Antonio the Sixth]

Inks would at least try to be objective. Opebo would just give it to whoever bribes him most.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Please stop making all of these "opebo vs. _" polls. We're still not going to vote for the former.

Also, Inks.

[Goldwater]

Inks.

[Vosem]

Is this a judge I want productive or just a placeholder? Inks in the first case, opebo in the latter case.

Judges being objective based only on the literal reading of the law, at least in the US, can be quite disastrous. For another example of how bad this can be take a look at "zero tolerance" school policies.

[Oak Hills]

Inks.  I can't imagine why anyone would think opebo would be a better judge than he.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Inks.  I can't imagine why anyone would think opebo would be a better judge than he.

Because he is so obsessed with enforcing the literal word of the law with no room for flexibility and leeway.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Inks.  I can't imagine why anyone would think opebo would be a better judge than he.

If you promise to actually read all of them, I'll send you my case briefs from class so far.  Then tell us if you still hold this view.  But you have to promise to read all of them.

I never said Inks would be a good judge. But it's pretty clear Opebo would be even worse.

How can the demonstrated disaster Inks be 'winning' this poll?  I had no idea the forum was so filled with blind ideologues.

[Adam Griffin]

Uh, we've already answered this question.

[opebo]

Uh, we've already answered this question.

Perhaps the participants in the game are a more enlightened subset of forumites, Andy.

Undoubtedly. With poll results like these, perhaps FC needs moderation after all - by an Associate Justice, of course.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Also, Inks.

You just made me vote opebo.

I'll actually extend this offer to anyone who would like to read my notes.

Aren't you in timeout?

I didn't say I wasn't going to post... I'm just not infracting/deleting/editing/moving posts or threads...

[Simfan34]

Isn't it unfortunate how a BRTD thread can be detected merely by the ludicrousness of its premise?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

BRTD, I'm a bit disappointed you haven't accepted my offer.  Once again, forum members go around making untrue assumptions.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Depends on how long it'd take to read a lot of case briefs.

That's not true. The problem he just makes the law up himself, there is no literal word of the law.
