If someone lies to the judge repeatedly, they should expect a scathing assessment of their argument. I disagree with the idea that judges should not scold when they have rendered a decision.

However, I also understand that this is an unwinnable argument with extremists. Anyone who can't understand the difference between science and faith is going to be at a loss to understand such a decision, and will see it as biased.

Judges ruling against conservative views are typically labelled "activist judges." Nothing new here...
