Are the judges affiliated to a political party?

I believe they were at one point, but they campaign unaffiliated now. I generally go to their campaign websites and view their platforms/qualifications and endorsements.

But on what basis can a judge campaign? A judge needs to uphold laws, not have a certain political (even if officially they're unaffiliated) standpoint on said laws...

 

Do they all campaign "I'll sentence people according to the law"? That makes it hard to choose

Yes, that is what a lot of them say.

 

Some bar associations put out assessments of the candidate's credentials, so I may take those into account. Some judges will also explain their ideas when it comes to sentencing (ie. correctional support v. long sentences), while other's provide long personal bios about their attachments/service to the community for people to consider.

Those Kids are traumatized for ever , the very young kid knows how low, unethical and brytal these so called IDF soldiers are that they can shoot her with her very young sister and Mom without being regret for a second
