You
hear people constantly lauding the notion of term limits. At the same time they often don’t like lib
judges and their decisions. But come
election time, there are a dozen judges on the ballot and voters just mindlessly
vote to retain them all. Well, they often
whine, they don’t know who these people are.
I have a suggestion. If you don’t
know any judges, vote to dismiss them all.
Then the current governor, who you do
know and you did elect has power to
appoint.
Now if you know a judge’s record and you
agree with his/her decisions, that’s a good reason to retain.
NO
on all judges you don’t know should be a default of any thinking voter. And it
should be a Republican political movement in OK. Then we wouldn’t have dinosaurs in high
places telling us we need to accept sharia law—like the decision that nullified
a state question which passed by 81% two years ago. Moreover, we could have Governor Fallin replenish the
courts. Right now, we have holdover
appointments from years of Dems. These
judges are often intent on ruining the current Republican revolution. But even beyond the partisanship, you should
vote to term limit a judge whom you know nothing about. Automatically voting to re-elect is like a Stalin
election. If you get a new job in the private sector, is your tenure guaranteed
forever? So why do people auto-vote to
retain?
I should get some
yard signs made. “NO the judges except…”
I figure we could plant about 100,000 of
these around the state and let people make hand signs next to this that list
judges they think need retaining.
