Note to self: (Jeff Backman) ask Daddy if it would be a better idea to run in this race then against Levey Cohen… who has the edge. Who is Roshawn Banks?

Roshawn got in there early. She won’t be the last in that race. Expect three or four others.

The candidate needs the job. They need the salary, the benefits, the freedom from having to chase clients, free of the rat race that is practicing law. But unlike other candidates for office, they can hardly say a thing that would help voters distinguish one candidate from the other. They raise as much money as they can from fellow lawyers who will come before them to try cases. Citizens vote as best they can, on what little they know and presto, we have a judge. Compare that to the other forms of putting judges on the bench, like having panels of retired judges, selected completely at random, charged with doing extensive interviews and background checks on candidates and forwarding the best three to the Governor for appointment under clearly well defined and sueprvised conditions. This is an absolute no brainer; the latter way will produce a better judiciary than the former which is already showing signs of bad judgment. We can’t have judges that are not performing, people’s lives, liberty, rights and property are at stake.
