Kentucky's Supreme Court

The majority of the noise on the airwaves (both TV and radio) has been about the US House and Senate races. Rightly so as there is much at stake this year for the nation as a whole in the results of each individual race. However, EVERY race is important. If you don't pay regular attention to Kentucky's Supreme Court, you may not know that there are five out of seven seats to fill on the Court this election! Time to brush up on your candidates and make some proper choices at the polls, Kentuckians.

Here's a brief overview of the seats on Kentucky's Supreme Court. Click the links on that page to drill down for more detail. Take a look at the seats up for election in the other states as well.

Just as on the US Supreme Court, some of the Justices on Supreme Court of Kentucky have been guilty of legislating from the bench. Therefore, it's extremely important this year that we elect Supreme Court justices who will adjudicate based on our state constitution. Novel idea, isn't it? ;o)

I think Marcus Carey is worthy of your support for Kentucky Supreme Court Justice. Here's why: He's a Conservative and as such is determined to adjudicate rather than legislate from the bench; and, since he felt it was important to be able to freely discuss his political affiliation and faith during his campaign, he filed and won a lawsuit -- the decision in his case makes it clear that he and other candidates are now allowed to exercise their First Amendment rights. Yes, even a judicial candidate! His political affiliation and his faith are readily on display -- there's no misunderstanding of what this man is about. All good reasons in my book.

Jeff did a great write-up about Marcus Carey on his blog, Blue Grass, Red State. Please read more about him there if you are still deciding on your votes for the Supreme Court.

So folks, do your homework and be at the polls Nov. 7th sharp and ready to mold the future of this state and the nation!

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
