Why circuit Court Judge Mary James of Oregon must be removed from the bench.

Dear Nena Cook,
I read your article today in the Oregonian on measure 37. While any reasonable thinking person would agree with your assessment of our checks and balances, there is one wild card your are not considering. Judges of long ago knew their duty on the bench and approached it with unbiased fervor. Today's judges unlike their predecessors are very much biased, in fact, they are flat out planted there by one side or the other making them the most powerful politicians in our country. You would think that the term, " Judicial Politician" is an oxymoron, however it fully describes our current judges of today. The system is broken. Our judges of today are about as honorable as constituency that placed them there or that of a judge in some corrupt third world country. This, Ms. Cook, is precisely the reason why the "Checks and Balances" do not function. Judge Mary James was placed in a position of power to be the strong arm to fulfill the wishes of her constituency, period, and any reasonable thinking person can see that. Yes, she most certainly needs to be removed. Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,

John P. Wilson
