Hey! Did you know there's a nonpartisan race for Kentucky Supreme Court on the November ballot?
Incumbent Justice Michelle Keller is facing a challenge from State Rep. Joe Fischer. You may know that Fischer – a Fort Thomas Republican – is an extreme conservative. And when I say he's right-wing, man, do I mean right-wing! Fischer isn't just conservative. He's on a completely different plane of existence!
I know that these days, Fischer occasionally sounds almost reasonable compared to the lockdown totalitarians. Fischer isn't really a lockdown right-winger like Mike DeWine and Rodrigo Duterte are. And make no mistake, when I first voted in 1991, lockdowns would have been considered a right-wing authoritarian policy. Lockdownists don't get to practice wokewashing to hide their tyranny.
Now Fischer has been chided by the Kentucky Judicial Campaign Conduct Committee because in his campaign materials he talks about being a conservative Republican. In other words, he's running a partisan race – which violates the Kentucky Constitution's provisions that judicial races must be nonpartisan. The committee sent a letter that observes, "When judicial candidates emphasize their affiliation with a political party, they erode long-held American principles of judicial independence and fairness." The letter says legal disputes should "be decided by an impartial tribunal that is not influenced by political affiliations."
In addition, look how badly partisanship has ruined the other branches of government lately. On an increasing basis, the parties have built their entire identities around truly vile, repulsive policies.
Hopefully, Fischer's rightist poologgery will be soundly rejected by voters in November.
