VOTE SUPPRESSION: ARE YOU ASHAMED TO BE REPUBLICAN

Common Wealth Judge Robert Simpson in Pennsylvania and Supreme Court Judge Rehnquist have something in common. They should never have been judges because they carried disqualifying biases to the bench.  Rehnquist’s ruling gave the presidency to Bush and the country suffered terrible for 8 years. That decision marked him as one of the worst judges ever in the history of that court. Judge Simpson’s ruling took away the rights of thousands of people to vote—the very essence of democracy, as Chris Hayes says in a TV blurb.

Two professions should disqualify people for participating in them if they have political bias: Pollsters and Judgeships.  In modern society, it seems that the title Republican Pollster or Democratic Pollster seem to be the reason political organizations (campaign committees) and news media hires them. But, what if the guys that pays the bills wants them to be biased. The basic premise of polling is that for a poll to be valid is for the questions are unbiased. The basic premise of the law is that judges should apply it without bias. But what if the people who appoint or elect a judge wants them to be biased? How can a Judge decide that their government should abridged the voting rights of people when the Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzi, the body that wrote the law, said they wrote the law the way they did to elect a Republican President? Rather then having shame for what Simpson and Turzi did, I am the Republican Party is proud.

Judge Simpson is a disgrace just as Rehnquist was a disgrace, and for the same reason: biased application of laws written to protect us from people like them and the Political Party to which they belong.
