I DO agree with this portion. There are so many child molestors and other irresponsible n'er do wells that liberal judges put on the street who end up doing harm to others, that judges SHOULD have oversight, but GUESS WHAT? There is this thing called the appellate court.
The problem with the country is NOT due to tough judges like the one in the video. The problem is the wimp liberal judges that are scattered throughout the US.
