    Judges, how to get info for ballot

    [ WARNING! The site below is a very biased site - do not trust this post! See following post! ~ Barry ]

    Judges, we see how important they are to our country. A website has rated the judges on your ballot by alot of criteria. Criteria includes positions, contributions, rulings, statements, experience, reputation, integrity, American Bar Association rating. I make no endorsement. The website statement is pretty straight forward. No religion in government, strict adherence to written law. Alot of the judges that the GOP is approving now in Washington are NOT recommended by the America Bar Association due to total lack of experience. This guide is recommended by Bill Moyers, NYT and many others.....

    https://judgevoterguide.com/sonoma-county/

    These are the questions asked to determine ratings and if judge is activist judge like Gorsuch or Kavanaugh.
    What is your name and what office are you running for?\

    What well known U.S. or California Supreme Court judge (living or dead) do you most admire?\

    How could the judicial system be improved?\

    Do you consider yourself a strict constructionist or judicial activist?\

    What do you believe is the basis for law?

    In New Mexico, the State Supreme Court ruled against Elane Photography, siding in favor of upholding the civil rights of a gay couple over the religious convictions of the business owners. How do you view religious liberty issues/civil rights?\

    Do you agree or disagree with the Court of Appeals for the Second Appellate District’s initial ruling several years ago against homeschooling in California. Why or why not?\

    Do you believe the Constitution is a living document?

    I just saw a great suggestion on Twitter.
    It took me less than 4 minutes to google each judicial nominee to see who appointed them and/or their party affiliation. Take a few moments to do this!
