The citizen who filed the complaint inspected CAPs IRS filings (referenced in the text contained in the image).

Why? I saw the name, did a little research and found out his presumable unbreakable ties to the "values" of his wife. Honestly, I do not want any extremist, tea party or Koch/ALEC indoctrinated people in ANY positions in government. Period.<br /><br />Here's how I see it: It's like putting a racist in a position of power. Can the racist do the job well? Certainly might be able to do a great job. But in the position of a judge, you have someone who has authority over people's lives. It's not right to put someone who is almost certainly going to discriminate against a litigant, defendant, witness or attorney because of their race in that kind of position. Just substitute "because of their belief in reproductive freedom, sex education, equal marriage rights, right to assisted suicide" for racist -- it's the same thing. I believe that only people who are open to allow others to live according to the law - which currently does include things these Herrods are most assuredly against - should be presiding over important life, health & perhaps even death decisions for other citizens. <br /><br />If I could obtain a list of every single tea party, ALEC affiliated, Koch affiliated, extremist judge, I would vote against all of them regardless of their scores and encourage others to do the same. That is the right thing to do to ensure Arizonans get a fair shake in court and not be squashed by some robe looking down his nose at them because of their values, beliefs or lifestyles.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387914898367171525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478354375758846359.post-25813962603024545582014-10-21T09:10:22.812-07:002014-10-21T09:10:22.812-07:00Great article and research, Steve.

(http://bit.ly/AZp1Herrod) Herrod was assigned the suit against the group trying to recall Arpaio, and he let the case drag out for two months, even after the defendants filed an unopposed motion to expedite the hearing. The day before the deadline to file the recall petitions, Judge Herrod finally disclosed to counsel that he had a "potential conflict".<br /><br />It is indisputable that the lawsuit negatively effected the recall effort (and bolstered Arpaio and his supporters). It is also pretty indefensible for Judge Herrod to not disclose the potential conflict immediately, and it seems very possible that his lapse could have been improperly motivated by his political views. (After the deadline passed, he recused himself to let another judge mop up the case.)<br /><br />http://bit.ly/AZp1HerrodMitch M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09357789360115625360noreply@blogger.com
