Here's how unethical defrocked judge wins a primary election

Tim Skubick: Here's how unethical defrocked judge wins a primary election | MLive.com
The State’s highest court ruled that Ms. James misused court funds that were intended for crime victims.
She redirected the money, the court contends, into the hands of court employees, which violated the court’s anti-nepotism policy.
 And to add insult to misconduct, she lied during an investigative hearing the Supreme Court concluded.
Certainly that qualifies her to be re-elected.
Doesn’t it make sense to want someone on the bench who has hands-on experience with breaking the law?
After all if you are going to judge others, it’s a plus on your resume to have been judged by your peers and found guilty.
It means if she wins re-election in November, she’ll have more compassion when she rules on crooks coming into her courtroom.
She pulled this off thanks to the crowded field that ran against her as the opponents were confident they could surely beat a former judge who was bounced by the state Supreme Court.
But as is often the case, the incumbent often benefits from so much competition.
It’s a trick they use in legislative races, too.
Pack the field with lots of other folks, and the incumbent’s chances of winning go up. Ms. James benefited from that.
You gotta wonder if she recruited any of those seven other candidates to get in the race?
Naw.
Nobody who misappropriated court funds, would ever pull a stunt like that.
