So are you suggesting that the Mississippi Supreme Court is not part of the Mississippi political machine because they are elected and there is no party ID on the ballot?
You’re reading much too much into my comment. I am ONLY describing the process of electing Mississippi Supreme Court Judges.
High information voters will know the political ideology of candidates for the Supreme Court and low information voters won’t have a clue. Endorsements can give a voter some idea of a judge’s ideological leanings.
There are judges who go out of their way to hide any partisan political affiliations they may have by never attending any partisan events. Other candidates actively seek such political endorsements.
And as we all know, there are judges who switch judicial philosophy once they achieve the highest court and with an eight year term, they often seem not to care much about reelection. Once you’re in, name recognition can keep you there for a long time.
So you know. Retread Nero Germ is the zotted OBot Jamese777 who is delighted to stick to everyone who is disappointed by this decision. Oh BTW, ignore his tagline since he has never voted for an R in his entire life.
