Kudos to Candace Lehmann of Peyton, CO who had the following letter to the editor published in the Friday, August 8 print edition of The Denver Post:
Title: What’s happening to the judiciary?
“A judge is supposed to be unbiased, neutral and impartial when on the bench.
The job is to read and understand the case, listen to any testimony and then read the arguments for and against the issue at hand. Lastly, based on the law only, a judge decides the outcome of the case.
This does not seem to be happening today in this country. It seems that oversight of the judiciary is now nonexistent and partisanship runs rampant. The judiciary is one-third of our government. If its neutrality and objectivity are gone, then the country is in danger.
Decisions should not be made by judges because they don’t like or believe in the issue or because of gifts from friends or donors or because they do not want to upset the guy or group that got them their job.”
