I don’t know if the new majority broke the rules or not. I’m not a lawyer nor a judge. Chief Justice Ziegler may have a point but it doesn’t help when she does her disagreement through the public lens.

For as much as I am happy that Protasiewicz won the election, I am not happy with how the election was run. Instead of it being an election for a judge, it was made to be an election for a politician (on both sides) who gets to wear a judge’s robe for a very long time.

Anyone who can put two brain cells together can understand that a judge will lean certain ways based on their own ideology, but impartial conduct is crucial to a well maintained judiciary.

This is how coups start; this is how coups get justified. Delegitimizing our court system is exactly what some on the extreme political left and right want. Putin and Xi are allowed their power because they put their people in the right political positions AND their people in the right judicial positions. Trump tried to do the same thing, and right now is banking on it for 2024.

I am so going to try this - thank you!

Autumn - fall colors are the best time of year for me.

2nd - spring knowing that the snow will be melting and the flowers will soon be blooming

3rd - winter as I prefer colder weather to hotter

4th - summer
