It’s all theater…
When you check your Oregon Voter Pamphlet for the races for judges in the Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon Court of Appeals you’ll note that your choices are.. wait, there are no choices!?
Much like any third-world, socialist hell hole, Oregon gives you the choice to vote for exactly one candidate.
Most Oregon judges are appointed because most Oregon Judges (oddly) retire before their term is up, meaning they have to be replaced, not by the people, but by the current Governor.
Then, they are the “incumbent” and lawyers rarely run against them for fear of retribution should they wind up in their courtroom. When the merry go round completes another revolution that judge retires early and his replacement is…picked by the governor.
Rinse and repeat.
Judges are the only offices that are noted on your ballot as “incumbents.” What a coincidence.
Every single “candidate” for the Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon Court of Appeals is already on the court. In no case do you have a choice. You may vote for whomever you like as long as it is the only candidate running.
While this is a terrible system, one “race” is particularly troubling. The coronation for Appeals Court Judge Position 6. There your “choice” is…Jim Egan. (See “non-partisan candidates.”) And that should send chills up your spine if you still have any shred of faith in Oregon’s Judicial System.
Egan, you may recall, was the “judge” who declared gun owners to be racist, anti-semitic, white supremacists in an unhinged rant against the people’s vote to create a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary in Columbia County.
You can read his entire demented screed here.
Egan is unfit to appear in a courtroom, let alone serve as a judge. His mindless hatred for law-abiding Americans disqualifies him from any job that requires a measure of impartiality. In spite of his clear bigotry against gun owners, he has refused to recuse himself from the appeal of the Measure 114 injunction. And that, like the entire system, is a disgrace.
This hateful bigot is going to win re-election because the dice are loaded. But you don’t have to participate.
In this election we suggest you write in our attorney Tyler Smith, who Egan directed his mindless attacks against. A small gesture in a game that’s rigged. But a gesture non-the-less.

Another thing I hate about judge selection is they are not required to say if they are democrap or a republican. The republicans say they are so when asked directly within seconds. The democraps tell you that they do not need to divulge that information because it is not part of the judicial election process.
Pretty simple to figure out if you just ask!!!

Another judge like the one in NYC..
‘Since this is New York, the Second Amendment doesn’t exist here!’
I know it… i’ve lived in Oregon since 1980. However, We have the best gun laws on the “left” coast… Oregon has a really good 2A constitution… I’m relying on that to assist me in not being a major felon, with a tough of Nazi sprinkled in
Here in Kentucky, the problem with deciding which judge to vote for is U can’t find any information about where judges stand on the issues. Judges are supposed to be “Non partisan” and as such there is no “R” or “D” or “I” by their name yet I can not find any information about where they stand on issues. Their biography informed simply gives a thumb nail sketch of where they got their law degree history and the like. I don’t know about you but it is a real problem for me to vote for a judge that will uphold… Read more »
That’s one bone I’d have to pick with the authors of Florida’s constitution, too. Our supreme court judges don’t stand for regular elections. Instead, a ballot entry of “Should Justice ‘X” be retained?” appears on the ballot. As a layman, I don’t know how these people vote, so I always vote no, but I’ve never seen one not be returned to office.
Racists always point a finger at other people calling them racist. They cannot escape their own bigotry. Conspiracy is a real word. It can be used in combination with the word Theory. When one accuses another of using conspiracy theories they accuse them of a lie when the facts or outcome of a theory could prove otherwise. Law enforcement investigations have conspiracy theories they present to prosecutors who often get juries to weigh the evidence and prove them real. This judge is both racist and a conspiracy propagandist of the most evil in our justice system.
In my treatise called Is Someone Shopping Around For A Friendly Judge?, I expose the fact that the legal system/Matrix is rigged up against us, rigged to get convictions regardless of anyone’s guilt or innocence! And now, that is being brought to light even more! When enough people read my papers that expose the crimes and criminality of the legal system by going to the CourtVictim web site, we will be able to defeat it and get rid of all this tyranny that is destroying our way of life!
