The current law allowed judges discretion in designating areas. Implicit in this is the assumption that the judges would be mature enough to be entrusted with this responsibility. Some have shown that they are not. So just like the 6th grade class where one kid abuses a privilege, it may now be time to take that privilege away from all judges and get proscriptive as to what areas can be so designated.

That or just disbar the judges who have shown that they can not be trusted with even this little amount of authority.

This is a limited test case since it deals with the designation of court locations where there is some flexibility in the law. Although this may well call out the need for some changes in the law (limitations on locations that can be designated, etc).
