OUCH!.. ethnic sounding names judged out, Texas .. a bit from the story about an inch down ..

That makes no sense. These votes are not based upon the merits of the judge but on partisan affiliation and if its not party affiliation it's the sound of your name. I said that almost all the Republican judges in Harris County lost—well, there were three exceptions. And in each of those cases, the Democratic candidate had an ethnic-sounding name. That's no way to differentiate among candidates. And if it's not partisan affiliation or the sound of your name, it's how much money you can raise—which, as I said, undermines confidence in impartial justice.

from an interview with ex judge Wallace B. Jefferson ..

wow .. on that interview he is a clear winner in any 'care for the social fabric of America' race when seen among the likes of Allen West, Dr. B Carson, Cruz, Bachmann, Bishop EW Jackson, Palin, Santorum, Huckabee, Rick Scarborough (TP leader) Rand Paul, Greg Collett (TP guy with 10 kids on Medicaid), the Duggar family, Louis Gohmert, Tom DeLay, Mike Lee, Rubio, Boehner, GWB, Glenn Beck, and last my age old favorite NOT Jim DeMint .. no apologies to any of the miscreants i missed ..
