Use Your Best Judgment

Chattanooga blogger Joe Lance issues his endorsements for the August 7th primary. On the judicial retention elections, however, you are on your own:

This system of using the ballot to retain appointed judges is convoluted, confusing, and in need of correction. I will not make any recommendations here, because I know far too little about each judge’s record. I‘m almost inclined to vote “No” on the Court of Criminal Appeals and Supreme Court members, based solely on my position against capital punishment; but how do I know which judges are on my side? The Court of Appeals, which hears civil cases, doesn’t present the same challenge. Use your best judgment, so to speak.
