June Election Recommendations
Warning: Do NOT vote for a judicial activist or unqualified judges.
The June California primary ballot has important races for Superior Court judges…but it’s often hard to tell which judges you should vote for.
Unfortunately, many judges sitting on California courts may be incompetent, corrupt, lazy or soft on crime.
Even worse, many are political opportunists who have a political agenda—they are “judicial activists”
A judicial activist legislates from the bench. Instead of strictly interpreting California law, these judges make the laws. Instead of applying the law to facts, they impose their own values on us all.
