Judge Griffen can say anything he wants, I just wish he wouldn't
Judge Wendell Griffen was vindicated this when the judicial ethics committee formally announced it will drop all ethics charges against him. "Freedom of speech doesn't mean fear of speech," he said. He is right, he should not have to be in fear of ethics charges if he wants to let us know what he is thinking any particular day. Of course, it doesn't mean we have to like it or keep voting for him. Now if Judge Griffen will just go back to acting as a judge instead of a political candidate -- all will be right on the bench.
Comments
Other judges offer homilies at churches and civic groups thinly disguised as neutral non-partisan proclamations. At least Griffen is honest. He's kept his personal beliefs out of his rulings, which is more than I can can say about his court cohorts. I respect Rita, but I'm going to continue voting for an honest man.

How much better off would our Republic be today had Alito and Roberts spoken out a wee bit more? They would not have had their veiled neocon attitudes and philosophies so well disguised in abstract fairness when questioned by the Senate.
