Why President Trump is still being legally harassed

Why President Trump is still being legally harassed: New York judge Juan Merchan, who just denied another motion against President-elect Trump, may be an extreme political ideologue, but like all judges, he works for a government institution.  He takes orders and follows directions.

Former federal appellate judge Richard Posner, appointed by Ronald Reagan, wrote a book called “How Judges Think”.  Unfortunately, it should have been called “How Judges Behave”, because the job of judging really doesn’t rest on thinking; it rests on issuing a ruling, and more times than not, these rulings are wrong in law, and are also not subject to written explanations.  They’re often just fiat.
