Personal feelings should be, and primarily are, pushed aside when it comes to a court of law. Judges know this, and a district court judge like Susan Illston absolutely knows this. A click-bate title like this can do so much damage because it undermines public trust in the judicial system and spreads false ideas that judges are now making rulings based on emotion rather than law. While nobody is perfect, and some judges may make calls with reasoning like this, this is abnormal and a small minority of judicial officials--not most. Misleading headlines like this only fuel unnecessary political division and distort how people view and trust legitimate court decisions based on stare decisis and our Constitution.  Less

   Hello, I also agree with your post, the judge's comments were emotional and that is not appropriate for a courtroom.

   I agree with this post. Its headline is more sensitive targeting a certain group that would engage in clicks.
