Well, for Judy and me, anyway. We voted a few days back. It’s good to get that done. Not on the day of the election, but in-person, ballot in hand, dropped in the box. We hope every informed citizen votes. And political parties aside, we hope that in each case, the most thoughtful, respectful, intelligent, decent, and capable candidate is elected.
While we were voting though, something struck me. There must have been a dozen judges and justices on the ballot, and each one was identified as a Republican or Democrat. What? What does political party affiliation have to do with judging? Justice is blind, right? The scales of justice are held by a woman with a blindfold on. Should personal persuasion have anything to do with interpreting the law?
