When is a judge “brilliant” and “impeccably fair,” and when is a judge a “wacko,” “prima donna,” “right-wing hack”? When is questioning a judge’s decision a threat “to our entire system of government,” and when is it an acceptable effort to “uphold the Constitution”? 

If you are a Democrat, the answer is easy: judges appointed by Democrats to hear charges against Republicans are brilliant and fair and any criticism they receive is an attack on democracy. If it is a Republican judge presiding over a case, all attacks are fair game, be they personal or professional in nature.
