Nobody's Opinion: Vote NOTA (None Of The Above) for Justices

While it may seem to be beneficial to vote for some of the better judges, and against some of the worst ones, IMNSHO (InMyNotSoHumbleOpinion) it is best to VOTE "NO" AGAINST THEM ALL.

"Oh no! That's negative!" wails the fuzzy-feely myrmidon. "We'll get farther with a positive approach, like supporting them all..."

I can appreciate efforts to distinguish the good from the bad, but in the case of appellate justices, there is no real justice.

I have many good reasons to vote NOTA for all appellate judges, whether for the District Court of Appeals or the California Supreme Court.

1. The system is unfairly rigged in the judges' favor. They are appointed (basically for life) and are "re-elected" in a "yes or no" (Soviet-style) election. If there is no real choice, the only way to object to the system is to vote NO.

2. There are no "good ones" there. Some may be "lesser evils", but they're still awful tyrants.

2a. The lesser of two evils is still evil. The lesser of one evil is even more evil.

2b. All appellate judges are appointed by Governors of California who are very careful not to let any libertarians, anarchists, objectivists or independent thinkers into the exclusive club.

2c. To be eligible for appointment a person must first toe the line as "an attorney in good standing" for 10 years, then spend more years as a Superior Court Judge enforcing tyrannical laws.

2d. A sizeable contribution to the Governor's campaign is expected from any serious candidate for Appellate Court Justice.

2e. Anybody worth my vote could never get through that demeaning process of 10+ years of persecuting and sentencing non-violent people to prison, being part of a perverted system of injustice, and stealing from everybody.

3. Voting "YES" is giving your consent to this tyranny. I may not be able to avoid being ruled and pillaged by these petty tyrants, but I certainly do NOT give my consent.

4. If there were even "a few good judges" worth voting for, serving at the appellate level of the California Justice System, FIJA (Fully Informed Juries) would be operational, drug wars would be dead, and there would be a lot less injustice in the system.

5. This is the only place on the ballot where we really have the choice of voting NONE OF THE ABOVE. It is also a perfect place to use NOTA to object to all of the things the legal system does wrong.

6. They are all going to win no matter how we vote. That's just the way the system is rigged.

I plan to exercise my judgment to vote NOTA on all appellate judges.

That's Nobody's Opinion, and it's a good one...
