And before Judge Eagles was confirmed to the federal bench by the US Senate, she was elected to the bench multiple times by the people of North Carolina.
She has Burr's seal of approval
In December 2010 Burr issued this statement:
That should put a damper on the "activist judges" mess we hear so often from Republicans.

This is off topic, but ...
I particularly enjoyed the case law reference to the 1943 Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a law compelling school children to salute the flag and recite the pledge of allegience. Funny how all they had to do was add the words "under God" to the pledge in the 1950s and suddenly normal, reasonable, independent-minded Americans who once agreed with the judgement that it was unAmerican to force people to recite any pledge to anything became utterly undone by the notion that they couldn't force all the school children across the country to recite the pledge everyday.
