There were not a group of John Does behind the Grant Street 99 Website, which was sued by Judge Melvin, but just one creator and author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-33165390587634568822009-04-23T09:45:00.000-04:002009-04-23T09:45:00.000-04:00Let’s see you are opposed to ambition, dissent, ju...Let’s see you are opposed to ambition, dissent, judges refusing pay raises they believe are illegal, judges with relatives in public office, and judges taking a tough position. Can I assume then that you oppose US Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, and US Supreme Court Justice John Roberts? <br /><br />If you readers base their votes upon gossip rather than issues of law, experience, and judicial temperament they will get exactly what they deserve, another judge working for the cronies of Governor Rendell. <br /><br />I have no official association with any of the candidates. I am not a member of political committee and you won't find my name on their list of contributors. But I have met with the Judge Melvin, Judge Allen, and other qualified judges. I urge you to discuss their commitment to limited government, life, and strict constitutional principles rather than gossip from jealous competitors.<br /><br />Wexford Bobwexfordbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812833973359500017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-74588097440737193272007-09-18T11:51:00.000-04:002007-09-18T11:51:00.000-04:00Anon 11:28,Thanks.
