Bray deserves credit
Just one footnote to today's editorial (written by Elma) and Lorraine's column Wednesday about the John G. case:
The Court of Appeals backed up Guilford County District Court Judge Susan Bray 100 percent.
Bray issued a gutsy ruling on behalf of this boy back in 2005, riling up the Social Services establishment.
Bray's an excellent judge who cares about kids. Like other District Court judges, she makes literally thousands of rulings every year and gets little public recognition good or bad. She deserves full credit for making the right call in this important case.
Credit also to Court of Appeals Judges Barbara Jackson, who wrote the opinion, and Ann Marie Calabria and Martha Geer, who signed on.
Hmmm ... Four judges, all women. Our judiciary is changing. For the better when it comes to cases involving families and children?

Hummm!!!! Are you suggesting the Women Judges rule on the case because they were women or is it possible that they rule on the law?
Which brings us to another example of your opinion, Suppose it was 4 male Black judges who rule on a case that involved a Black male defendent in a civil rights issue and they rule in his favor, would you consider that better for cases involving blacks?
Or to take it one step more, Suppose a group of Republican party male white judges rule in favor of a republican white defendent who had a DWI because one of the Republican judges had a DWI, would you consider that better for cases involving DWI republicans?
