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!
