Dick Posner Breaks the Judicial Code of Silence

In three of my books and in many of my law review articles (most recently, this one), I explain in plain language how judges routinely disregard the law to reach their predetermined outcomes.  I have also repeatedly demonstrated how these predetermined outcomes nearly always benefit the state, thus making the judge the chief prosecutor (a/k/a the “prosecutor in a robe” or the “prosecutor on the bench”).  But now, dear reader, you don’t have to take my word about the level of disdain many of our almighty judges hold for the law.  Retired judge Dick Posner has broken the judicial code of silence and fessed-up.
