Vote No on Joyce Kennard
by Mike Spence - Los Angeles County (bio) (email)(print)
Joyce Kennard is a bad State Supreme Court Justice. She twice voted to invalidate the state's parental consent law. That is why CRA is urging Californians to vote no. You can see the press release below.
Once I was asked by a reporter, if opposing judges based on the parental consent issue is valid. After all he thought it was only one issue. I asked him what would he think about a judge that was good on everything (Kennard is not by the way) but was against Freedom of the Press. He never answered.
Any judge that believes the right to privacy means a fourteen year old girl can be taken to an abortion business by her statutory rapist to get a a secret abortion that her parents will ever know about, despite the possibility of deadly complications deserves a no vote from California's voters. That's a pretty good single issue if you ask me.

Okay, one down lots more to go, what about the others? Opinions please!

Posted by james sills at October 13, 2006 11:24pmbe richly deserving of a "NO" vote.
Appointed to a Superior Court seat by Jerry Brown in 1978, and
then placed on the state Appeals court by Gray Davis in 2001.
But she would be a Federal judge today except for her notorious
rulings in the "BETTY LOU BATEY" case in the mid-1980s.
Mrs. Batey divorced her husband when he announced he was
gay. When the husband later died of AIDS, his surviving male
partner petitioned the court to give HIM primary custody of Mrs.
Batey's 16-year-old son.
INCREDIBLY, in 1987 Superior Court Judge Judith McConnell did
give primary custody to the father's male partner. Betty Lou Batey's
"crime" was that she is a vocal Christian who spoke out against the
gay lifestyle. One newspaper headline at the time read:
"Mother loses custody of son, 16, to dead husband's gay lover" to dead husband's gay lover"
The same story said Betty Lou Batey ran out of the court room in
tears, her hopes crushed.
In 1994 Bill Clinton nominated McConnell for a Federal judgeship,
but then the 1994 elections intervened. New Judiciary Chair Orrin
Hatch was innundated with letters telling him about the Betty Lou
Batey outrage ... and Senator Hatch told the Clinton White House
the McConnell nomination was NOT going ahead. A law-and-order
Democratic Judge, Hon. Jeffrey Miller, got the Federal job.
So Gray Davis gave her a "consolation prize", a spot on the State
Court of Appeals in 2001.
It is time to return Ms. McConnell to private life after a 28-year-long
ride on the public pay roll. Please be sure to vote NO on retaining
Judith McConnell, court of appeals, district 4.
