Should these be the people judging the judges? If those convicted by a judge deem him excessively harsh and believe they should be set free, should we set them free?
Maybe not outright, but we do take a look at the judge's decisions - just in case.
Jesus said, "with what judgment you judge, you will be judged." Paul said, "in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things."
The more I consider these, the more profound I find them to be.

Clearly, a limited offense does not warrant unlimited punishment. God's sentencing of the imperfect humans to an eternity in hell for a mere mortal lifetime of sin is infinitely more unjust than this punishment. The absurd injustice of this infinite punishment is even greater when we consider that the ultimate source of human imperfection is the God who created them. A perfectly just God who sentences his imperfect creation to infinite punishment for finite sins is impossible.
