Supreme Court Position 1: Jim Johnson

As I wrote earlier I have voted for Justice Jim Johnson in the race for State Supreme Court Justice Position Number 1.

This race is to re-elect Justice Jim Johnson to a second term on the state's highest court or replace him with workers-comp attorney Stan Rumbaugh.

As the incumbent justice has received virtually every newspaper endorsement in the state the challenger is making this race about the fact that Stan Rumbaugh is pro-abortion and would have voted to throw-out this state's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) whereas the incumbent justice voted in the majority to uphold the law.

As I actually agree with almost all of the the big-case opinions that Justice Jim Johnson has written I see no reason to unseat him with a candidate that has almost zero expierence at all in appelate courts who is being heralded as the candidate that would legislate from the bench.

I've voted to keep state Justice Jim Johnson on the bench.

Fantastic. If you write-in Rumbaugh's name it won't even legally count, as he was eliminated from the General Election in running for this position in the Primary. I hope everyone who opposed Justice Johnson's service writes-in Rumbaugh (so zero opposition is even registered).
