I take this seriously and am intent on finding out where my local judges stand both fundamentally and in greater detail. A good judge will be happy to state his case. Right?
I almost always vote “no.” ESPECIALLY if it is a woman. Sorry, women.
My last ballot had 12 RAT judges running unopposed. Sickening really.
When judges run against each other for a seat on the bench, they usually sling mud at each other by pointing out each others unfavorable rulings on certain cases, and how they would rule differently.
Do you have names? Look up their names and see what you can find out about them. Even articles sometimes paint a picture of what they believe.
This has been one of my big complaints since stuff started being posted on the internet, why doesn’t the GOP post some info on the judge races and a few of the others that no one knows anything about.
I look at who gets to replace vacant judgesuips. Are they r or d?
I always vote no on any retention votes.
I try to do research to inform my votes for local justices.
When in doubt I vote against the incumbant.
First, don’t vote for female judges. We have enough of them.
In my communist state you almost can’t go wrong voting aginst the incumbent
I used to vote NO always, but recently I consider who might be appointing replacements.
The best way is to ask the democrat poll worker for the voting guide then vote for the other one.
Liberal groups with names like “conservative Christians inc”, run little dirt pieces against all the good judges, knowing that people will then vote to remove the good judges, and retain the corrupt Democrat aligned ones.
The only purpose of a judge is to interpret the law.
As adopted, not make new law.
Legislators and executives make laws.
NOT judges!
Of course we have a system where the laws don’t cover everything, so Judges are given a wide berth,
I have an example. I was stuck behind two cars
not doing anyway near the speed limit on a clear dry day; I passed them at a high speed and then returned to the speed limit.
A cop had “clocked me”.
In Hawaii you cannot exceed posted speed limits for ANY
reason.
I got a speeding ticket.
Judge saw fit to let people impede my travel,
just because they could, from ignorance or,
malevolence.
At least he reduced the fine.
That is why I don’t trust judges.
Unless you are the correct race, sex, or whatever.
They will nail white guys to the wall.
Just so you don’t think I’m racist, I think they nail Black
guys pretty hard because of of the stuff they
got away with before getting caught.
In Oregon the practice is that a judge retires before the next election. The democrat governor then can appoint a replacement, who runs as the incumbent in the next election. Others seldom run against the person, because it they lose, they have to face the person in their court.
As a rule, for judges I prefer prosecutors to defense attorneys, and solo or small firm practitioners to large firm lawyers. I do not like judges who are married to lawyers.
In addition, run the judge's names through the federal, state, and local contribution databases. Contributions to democrats are a mark against them.
Also look at the judges' campaign contributions. Contributions from criminal defense lawyers and democrats are a negative, as are endorsements from them.
I have to laugh. The legals protect themselves at all cost. When was the last time you read of a lawyer suing another lawyer?
I’ve got to say that this is a glaring area where we need informed. Considering that the judiciary holds so much power it would be great to know what values these people hold.
As a member of the NRA I get voter guides before every election. I would think they would want their members to know they should support in the judiciary.
What I’ve done lately is search each judge’s name and look through articles, who is supporting them and what their bio’s say about them and that gives me about as much as I can get.
