This is bad. Isn’t this one of the fellows who chose not to throw the book at Mr. Ravnsborg?
So you would prefer a judge that doesn’t follow law and just follows their own or someone else’s political agenda ….that’s interesting
He is not applying for the position in the court of public opinion.
It’s an election, literally the definition of public opinion.
No, the court of public opinion is swayed by news media, and posters on websites.
How many witnesses are brought forth in the court of public opinion?
How many doctored photos are posted on sites that are not true?
How many opinions are accepted as facts?
Last time I looked Moore has a “D” after his name. No chance in hell in this stump jumper state
Sure hope he doesn’t develop black-robe syndrome.
I wish he had a middle initial in there. (Or called himself Mike)
when I see the signs around that say “Michael Moore” my mind goes immediately to an obese leftist film-maker in a ball cap.
ick.
