Expensive Judicial Races Worry Experts
Mississippi State Supreme Court Chief Justice Jim Smith called for the appointment of state appellate judges rather than their election, citing increasingly expensive judicial campaigns and an ongoing federal judicial bribery investigation. Law and policy experts across the country have expressed similar concerns.
A recent study found that campaign donations to Louisiana Supreme Court justices by litigants — and not the judge's underlying philosophical orientation — often sway the outcome of cases, reported the New York Times. The Brennan Center for Justice and the Justice at Stake Campaign have compiled extensive information on judicial elections.
Isn't it human nature to quickly meet some of the needs of public opinion rather than enforce the laws of the land that set us free from fraud and harrashment? History repeats the path of greed itself which is found in each generation. Why is there such a neccessary "need" for minority laws? The Good Ole Boys are a concern because they are hidden in judical groups and they are busy taking advantage of the law for the joy of what they want to own for themselves. Consider Corrrupt Power and the envy of it. Corruption has its own judicial smoke screens found in gray areas that hides itself from us. This path of lawlessness is covered up in government groups and it takes the victims too much time and energy to find that kind of truth. Look around and listen and you will notice people describing their own perception of corruption found in all levels of our government. Maybe getting out from under the power of public opinion is a better way of escaping injustice. An American Way.
