Especially Tingelstad.

3. "I believe that justice is served when judges fear God ... "

That is the beginning of the second sentence on the home page of Tinglestad's web site.
To me, that is really scary stuff. |

4. Yes, Tingelstad is a real piece of work.

He doesn't belong anywhere near the Supreme Court. He shouldn't even be a traffic court referee.

9. Thanks, this is what I decided
|
Read their bios in the strib and decided on both.
Interesting, the strib endorsed the two men because they are lawyers... |
