A judge's job is to rule based on the current law, not re-interpret or rewrite the law in light of what's trendy or current. We can argue about whether they actually do that or not, but it seems pointless to complain that the __judges__ are out of touch. If the law is wrong, in light of what we know today, it's the __legislature__ who have to fix the laws. Not the judges.
