My last Trump ballot had 10 judges listed on the back. All commies. All uncontested.
“ My last Trump ballot had 10 judges listed on the back. All commies. All uncontested.”
My general counsel explained this to me. A great lawyer in private practice makes 7 figures. A good in-house counsel makes $500k or more. A judge in state court is lucky to break $100k.
You get a handful of senior lawyers who still take a judgeship in their near retirement or retirement years, but it’s mainly bad and mediocre lawyers who have no other job prospects who become judges. There are exceptions, but not a lot.
This judge is a DEI loser who probably barely graduated and barely passed the bar.
The judiciary is a huge problem. Light sentences to criminal illegals as well.
By "Trump ballot" you mean the 2034 election? No matter whether it's a national or a local election, I don't think judges are ever "contested", as in both parties putting up a candidate for the same slot. I believe judges are supposed to be non-partisan, so you only get to vote "yes" to the ones you want, or no vote for any others running whom you don't want. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about that.
I always check out the judges on the web. Even though they don't list a party on their web pages, you can usually tell which are Democrats by some of the items in their biographies or news stores. You can also check out their pictures for clues such as body language or attitude.
