Justice system has become depraved

The recent decision of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional shows how depraved and despicable our judicial system has become. It is no wonder that no one respects the laws or our judicial system anymore. With idiots appointed to life-time appointments on the bench, making law instead of interpreting law, just how long will it be before we have a complete breakdown of our society and return to the corruptness of a depraved third world nation?

It is long past time to tell your congressmen and senators to get off their political pot and get some decent people appointed to the bench, and to get rid of the mindless trash that is currently ruling our courts.
