That applies in most states. Despite the effect they have from magistrates to state Supreme Court seats, people seldom check on judicial backgrounds, and as we saw in US Supreme Court hearings, judges hide behind claims they cannot comment on potential issues they may face lest they appear biased. Which means there can be no debates. You can only judge past rulings, and the news media seldom does that on lower level court seats. Because few people would bother reading it. In my state, the state senate leader got a law passed that changed the order appeals court judges were listed on the ballot, putting his son first when he would have been in the middle. Of course, his son won. Having a non-Anglo name automatically decreases your odds of winning in my area.

Maybe it wasn't Vietnam. Maybe systemic racism is the thing Bud and Adam Thornton had their falling-out about...

That's another reason why the loss of local journalism is such a tragedy. The candidates for school boards, judges, and city council get ZERO news coverage.

I didn't have that much craven mendacity when I was waiting for the surgeon to repair my pilonidal cyst.

With one deeply flawed but at least trying politcal party and another political party that is full on power mad, the solution to every problem right now is "be richer and whiter". I'm so tired of it all.

That has GOT to be a photo edit.

We could use the voice changing dealio they use for those anonymized TV interviews too, to remove traces of accents that might give up the cultural identity of the accused.

I heard they had to add carpeting, since the sound of heels was a giveaway.

Surely someone has brought up Critical Race Theory and why it isn't complete balderdash in the comments. If not, why not?

As a protestor put it after George Floyd's public execution "you should be happy all we want is justice, not revenge." The thing those scaredy pants wypipo keep forgetting is on the whole the black community has a much clearer understanding of forgiveness (Christian or otherwise) than they get credit for. Fixing our critical race facts before a reckoning is unavoidable would be the prudent course, but those that owe their power to scared white folks don't want to give up their social "rallying point", which they have absurdly claimed is that the REAL victims of racial strife are straight white men.

One of the crows feasting on the Corn Palace’s exterior probably shat on his phone.
