Salutations, gentlefolk,
A couple of hays ago Mr. West said:
<<
The only way your NO vote could actually have an impact on a race would be if a judge were so outstandingly abominable that he had actually overwhelmed voter apathy and ignorance with his awfulness. If yours was the deciding vote that pushed such a clod off the bench -- well, it probably would be a good thing.
>>
Well, my personal experience with the Philadelphia courts ain't much - appeared 'pro se' as a plaintiff in Municipal Court about 20 years ago, won my case, remember not whom the judge was but know I will never willingly do business with
Michigan-Millers Insurance.
And about a decade ago I was on a jury for a civil case in Common Pleas. The judge, in my humble and limited opinion, was knowledgable in the law, fair and courteous to both parties, the court personnel, and us jurypersons, and allowed everyone to 'say their piece' but completed the trial efficiently. I would feel my liberty and property would be secure in any court she presides over, and - although she was the victim of one of the greatest smear campaigns in local history - I will vote in favor of retaining Frederica Massiah-Jackson on our bench as long as she wants to stay there.
As i wrote in an unpublished letter to _Readers Digest_, "If she is one of our worst judges, then our legal system is in very good hands"
Yours, John Desmond
