"Forget all those other votes if you don't keep the Ohio Supreme Court conservative."

[kpete]

Should scare a few people into voting:

"Let me tell you something: The Ohio Supreme Court is the backstop for all those other votes you are going to cast. Whatever the governor does, whatever your state representative, your state senator does, whatever they do, we are the ones that will decide whether it is constitutional; we decide whether it's lawful. We decide what it means, and we decide how to implement it in a given case. So, forget all those other votes if you don't keep the Ohio Supreme Court conservative."

-- Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith French, quoted by the Columbus Dispatch.


she is trying to backtrack today:
