You are wrong.

Well, I admitted that possibility, but if you think I am wrong you might at
least have pointed me in what you consider to be the corrrect direction.

How is it that there are so many stupid, liberal judges around to cause
problems with
our liberties?

That being so, who would elect a stupid,liberal judge?
Hard to imagine isn't it?






Federal Judges are **APPOINTED** by the President of the United States with
the advice and consent of Congress (might be just the Senate).

Start with the fact that we have 50 States, each with its own court system,
and that each State also has at least one Federal District Court.

Ah come on Dave, Edgar is on the other side of the pond, would it have
pained you that much to provide a brief outline of some of the
scenarios? You know, like are Supreme Court Justices appointed or
elected, are local traffic court judges elected.. In England *no*
judges or justices are elected.

State and local judges do not have the authority to issue orders that are
binding on boaters all over the US.

If this issue is really going to affect boaters all over the nation and
require action by congress to correct the matter, it is a federal judge who is
screwing things up.
