Subject(s): Judges
Click on image to zoom in
George W. Gage has recently finished reading Theodore Roosevelt’s most recent article on the judiciary, and agrees with everything Roosevelt has written. Gage has worked as both a lawyer and a judge, and shares his opinion that “the moral or mental bent” of judges and the bench frequently influences how a law is interpreted much more than what the law itself says, and that two different judges may judge a case very differently depending on their beliefs.
