I screen each and every candidate formally and informally and look to their backgrounds, education, family friends, associates and civic involvement, attitude, reputation, knowledge and the types of clients they represented, their experience in court and in life.<br /><br />I look to see if they understand people, if they can see through lies and bullshit, whether from the prosecution, the defense, witnesses or cops.<br />Whether they can fairly apply the law even if the person before them is morally reprehensible, physically repulsive or a circus midget from Sweetwater.<br />I look to the comments presented on this blog as part of my input, so please folks, sincerity from the heart for the good of the community, good and bad.<br />I want to know that if you had to appear before that Judge as a criminal defendant or a civil litigant would you have any hesitation and if so what would it be?<br />Everyone has a right to run in any race. But some Judges have EARNED a great deal of respect and others not and deserve opponents.<br />Let's hear objective facts, solid reasons pro or con, and keep the juvenile comments to a minimum.<br />Maybe if you did so the Herald might not have endorsed some bad ones last time.<br />I have really had it with the racial and ethnic crap I have heard for the past 50 years of judicial elections, starting with one Chinese Judicial candidate satirizing it with the slogan "Give a Chinaman a chance." It worked and he won.<br />We have some good and bad hispanic female Judges and candidates.<br />Let's judge them on their merits and not their names.<br />When a black judge draws an opponent the cry of racism always surfaces.<br />No one asks if a black judge deserves an opponent or why a better candidate from the same community can't be found?<br />And maybe it's time for a black female Circuit Judge in this town.<br />Filing deadline is Friday noon.Seth Sklareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129170134139564702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-78939647018225788942016-05-02T21:00:28.155-04:002016-05-02T21:00:28.155-04:00Um you are making this up because she hasn't b...Um you are making this up because she hasn't been in criminal court and therefore has made no rulings involving the State in over 4 years...Her opponent has no chance because she is universally respected and loved by both the criminal and civil bar.
