1. Pretty good source for info
http://votingforjudges.org/

Click on "Show My Elections", then pick your county.

Click on the individual names listed for each position.

You can tell a lot just by who's contributed to a candidate.

2. Thank you for that, will go look
I have heard some of State Supreme Court Judges, but not enough, and county ones, good question. Thank you, thanks also for UPjr who gets to vote for first time. Registered right away, not like friends that have just "not gotten around to it".

3. Are there any Supreme Court judges we should definitely
vote against? Like the ones that just voted down gay marriage?

Thanks!

5. Don't make protest votes based on that
as the challengers, in every case, are far more right-wing than the incumbents. It'd definitely be cutting off your nose to spite your face to unseat a generally-liberal, reasonable judge whose mind could be changed and seat one totally in the pocket of the BIAW and fundy churches, who would never in a million years vote for marriage equality.

I strongly recommend this pamphlet:

7. I know that Burrage
Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 10:44 AM by Evergreen Emerald
Is a right-wing conservative. I believe when she was a king County judge, ordered the females attorneys to wear skirts to court and told them they were not allowed to wear pants.

8. Alexander
Edited on Sun Sep-17-06 01:47 PM by gkdmaths
must retire in 6 years (maybe its 4, either way, its mandatory).

This would be a bad thing, however if history repeats itself we'll have a blue governor's mansion who will appoint a good judge to replace alexander.

two birds, one stone.

Edit to add, that Groen is the antichrist. Three birds, one stone.
