As a hammer blow throughout the Book of Judges is the phrase "They did what was right in their own eyes."  This sounds, to us liberty-loving Americans like a compliment. However, in the context of the book, it is a denunciation of those who rejected God's leading in favor of whatever pleased them at the time.
