Judicial candidates avoid divisive topics
The N.C. Family Policy Council today posted responses to its questionnaire to state appellate judicial candidates.
I'm pleased to see that most submitted no responses.
Many of the questions touch on hot-button social issues like abortion and homosexuality. As I discussed in my column today, the candidates ought to steer clear of them.
Most candidates returned polite letters explaining why they should not answer. The exception was Bob Hunter of Greensboro, running for Court of Appeals. But he respectfully pointed out that some of the questions were faulty, and not all his answers were what the Family Policy Council would want to hear.
Three cheers for judicial elections that don't produce the wrong kind of debate.

Amazing! All of the Republican candiates appear to be running from the Family Policy Council as fast as the Devil can on a bad day with Jesus.
It seems that the Republican Judical Dream team knows that the Family Policy Council is a nightmare from brother James Dodson
