Especially Tingelstad.

3. "I believe that justice is served when judges fear God ... "

That is the beginning of the second sentence on the home page of Tinglestad's web site.

To me, that is really scary stuff.

4. Yes, Tingelstad is a real piece of work.

He doesn't belong anywhere near the Supreme Court. He shouldn't even be a traffic court referee.

[question everything]

5. What about district courts?

Most are not challenged except for

4th District Court 22:

STEVEN ANTOLAK
ELIZABETH CUTTER

4th District Court 44:

MARC BERRIS
LOIS CONROY

7. Vote for Liz Cutter & Lois Conroy

I did a bit of research on these 2 races when I was answering the other thread.

[question everything]

9. Thanks, this is what I decided

Read their bios in the strib and decided on both.

Interesting, the strib endorsed the two men because they are lawyers...

6. Vote for the incumbents (cuz the others are either insane or inept)

See previous thread here too.
Seriously. Vote for the incumbents.

8. Stick with the incumbants n/t
