But here's where I want to challenge us all to think a bit. It's a cognitive distortion in our own heads to think that "all" judges are against the American cause.

Try half?
Try 40%?
35%?

That leaves a lot of those judges who are for the american way instead of against it.

Okay, let's assume I am wrong. Let's assume that it's  the other way around:

Even if 75% of the judges are corrupted---and maybe they are----then that also leaves 25% who are for us.

25% should give us hope. Because it's easy for lawyers to declare a mistrial and request a different judge. They know what they are doing.

To those of you who are inclined to respond to this article with a blanket statement, that "more than" 75% of the judges are against the American way, let me ask you: Where do you get those figures? Please offer us fact-based information before asking us to believe something that will only hold down the masses with discouragement.

I am, in effect, suggesting that we challenge the cognitive distortions in our own brains. I think that's very important, given how depressed (and de-motivated) we are as a people.

Put it this way: If the courts were really so stacked as to not leave even one single judge in favor of upholding the US Constitution, then the ACLU and Center for Constitutional Rights would have folded long ago and they also could not have won the rulings in court striking down parts of the Patriot act and the nixing of Habeas Corpus in the Military Commissions Act. It's just that simple.

WATCH OUT FOR COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS IN THE BRAIN! THEY ONLY HOLD DOWN PROACTIVITY! PROACTIVITY IS WHAT WE NEED NOW, MORE THAN WE EVER DID BEFORE! HOLD THE HOPE IN MIND!

Let me also point out that many judges are angry at the Administration for disarming them of their power to put a "check" on runaway government power, via unconstitutional post-911 legislation: My guess is that could make them *more* likely to rule in our favor instead of *less* likely.

Many Republicans are also tired of the Congressional Republican tricks and are turning against their own party. We've seen it right here on Opednews, Republican civilians posting their apologies and their outrage with what Congressional Republicans are doing. And, even voting against their Republican candidates.

Don't we all think many judges are of the same bent? Don't we all think they want to shed that negative image tagged to them? 

It's all conjecture and we can't play Merlyn regarding the contents inside other peoples' brains. My own guess is that the variables above make many of them (even if not all of them) MORE likely to rule in favor of condemning Bush and Cheney and Administrative officials, not less likely. Think about it.
