Union Picks For OC Judge: Collins, Jones and John Nguyen
Posted by: Jubal | 05/19/2008 3:21 PM
The California Labor Federation's "2008 Union Voter guide" arrived at Casa de Jubal today.
You heard right. I'm not sure why we get it. Jubalette #2 was a union member during her tenure at the local Vons (an experience that soured her on unions), but the guide is address too Jubalette #2. Maybe it's because she's a UC Berkley student.
But I digress.
"After reviewing their records, California's unions recommend these candidates" for OC Superior Court Judge:
Interestingly, the CLF and the Democratic Party of Orange County endorsed opposing candidates in the Superior Court Office 12 race: the CLF for Jones, the DPOC for Debra Carrillo.

Although Jubal portends to digress when naming candidates not endorsed by the OC GOP freight train of endorsements, I'm of the opinion there is a reason that the GOP is going the way of a lawn dart. That is the inability to think out of the box. This same freight train brought us Carona. A freight train of a different sort is contributing to our current national deliema as well. Then as here, it's brakes were out of order. What is best for people of the County would seem to me to be paramount. I posted this earlier on the Collins post and I stick to it.
"I stumbled on this post and went back to reveiw what Fish had said. I also took a look at the endorsements (business as usual). Fish has an impressive array of endorsements and Collins does not. As an aside, I note the Deputies Association is a good endorsement for a DDA running for Judge but a bad endorsement for a cop as far as us Republicans are concerned. What was stiking about Fish is his total lack of understanding about what a Administative Law Judge actually does. I chalk that up to him being in the criminal law business his entire career and being green. But to publically describe as fact that which is obviously false, is.. well, politics. But as a potential member of the bench of Orange County, you are likely held to a different standard. I suppose a young gentleman like Fish is overwhelmed with his new political prowess but at the end of the day, I'd go with somebody seasoned to hear my divorce case or my business problems."
