Democrat appointees to appellate courts are supposedly 13 percent more "liberal" than Republican appointees. Liberal is ruling in favor of the defendant; conservative in favor of the prosecution. If conservatives are for personal freedom and limited government and liberals are for big government, shouldn't it be the other way around? Again, it surprises me that people who think government can't do anything right think that government prosecutors, another variety of bureaucrat, are almost always right.
