Precisely. This is a victory for all libertarians. This is literally a historical occasion.
1) John Buttrick is openly, unabashedly, overtly (you supply the adjectives) Libertarian with a capital L. He is not a libertarian, who has run for office disguised as a Republicrat.
2) He has gracefully pissed off more than a few politicians during his campaigns by costing them votes, and forcing them to clarify their positions during debates.
3) He is very, very bright. There is no reason to believe that he will molify his NO COMPROMISE Libertarian beliefs in the courtroom. And I imagine he will be issueing interesting and well crafted rulings for the Appealate Courts to try and dance around in the future.
4) Judge Buttrick is probably be the highest appointed judge in the USA, who is clearly a Libertarian.
5) If he distinguishes himself, we may see future AZ governor's willing or forced to broaden the selection pool for other Libertarian/ libertarian appointments.
