We're the Only Ones Exclusively Judgmental Enough

A senior district judge charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit has been held for trial...

Presutti's attorney, Michael Witherel, told Court of Common Pleas Judge Lawrence O'Toole on Thursday that his client needed the gun to protect himself from his father-in-law. He argued that district judges are allowed to carry guns because they are "law enforcement officers."
In other words, he's allowed to protect himself and we're not because he's an "Only One" and we're not.

Yeah, that sounds like the kind of Republic the Founders had in mind...

hmmm, Silly ol' me thought that there were separation of powers. The executive branches, such as the "only ones" were the harass, oops, enforcement branch. Judges were the ones who are supposed to judge the facts, not enforce the laws or make them.

Am I wrong?
