My dad always says that there are two kinds of judges, follow-the-law judges and do-right judges, and that it didn't matter which they were as long as they stuck with it and judged that way equally for everyone. I think he is absolutely right, except that do-right judges should be bound by what options are available to them not outside the law.
The law shouldn't be entirely up to the judge, he or she should consider that a general sense of justice might not be exactly in line with personal feelings inclinations.
Judge
Justice administered
Under a system mostly perfected
Do research before
Giving your verdict. That's why you were
Elected.
