Judges on Ballot

Judge Charles M Pratt sounds like one of the few keepers. Basically told some weed dealers who had a conflict to pound sand and get out of his court. Cited the fact that it is against fed law to sell weed. Seems he is the only person that cares that it is against fed law.

Yeah...um, I think that's crap, he's not a federal judge.

I went by who appointed them. If it was a Dem, they got a no regardless of party affiliation.

This is what I did as well.

Used clearthebenchcolorado for supreme and appeals court. Then looked at who appointed. If Dem Gov appointed, no. If Repub appointed, yes.

I voted them all out, especially the district judges put in by either Hick or Owens. Judgepedia is a good resource to find out some info on judges, but I find that a lot of the information I really want (political affiliations, stance on gun control, voting history, etc) is very lacking.

I voted to keep some of them in based on the evaluations linked at Clear the Bench Colorado (which I linked above). Judges can't help who appoints them and even the liberal politicos occasionally put some decent people in place.

I found it interesting one of the two Colorado SC justices up for retention had a fairly positive evaluation in supporting the Constitution, including voting to keep Ortiz in Pueblo from loading the dice in the recall elections last year.

Somehow, I don't think the Judicial Review Panel meant for me to use their evaluations as I did. There were a few local judges who seemed to piss off the lawyers but got favorable reviews from non-lawyer observers/trial participants so I was inclined to keep them out of pure orneriness.
