……. and also contrary to common law dating back to the Magna Carta.
YES, Justice Steven David is a Mitch Daniels Appointee. Pharmer Triple Checked in order to be certain.

Justice David is due for a retention vote in 2012. A judicial appointee is subjected to a retention election within two years, the decision being made by the citizenry. He may then serve a term of 10 years. It will be our job in Indiana to remove this ridiculous judge, and his compatriots Frank Sullivan (term expires 2013), and Randall Shepard (term expires 2015).

Women are placed in the greatest danger by this decision, as rapists will suit up in their police costumes; (they are out shopping right now); and get BUSY. The wording of the dissenting opinion suggests an understanding of this.
