Talkback: I object to negative and confusing judge ads

Unless you want to have a narrow clique of courthouse insiders pick our judges, you are better off having judges elected, not appointed.
But you are right about the absurdity of not allowing judges to ask for campaign contributions. Without the ability to raise money themselves, judicial campaigns wind up in the hands of third party interest groups that are under no such restrictions.
