This is mind boggling. The Judicial Code of Conduct “prohibits any judicial candidate, regardless of the office they seek, from taking a position on any issue that may appear before the court” yet they are still required to run for office. So their ads cannot touch on any issue that a voter is most likely to consider important in choosing a candidate?

I guess judicial political ads in NC are restricted to the candidate’s favorite color and favorite food, maybe the current weather but they better not talk about climate or they may cross a line there.

“… demand investigation of a FEMALE judge for mentioning reproductive rights.”

There ya go.

They should probably investigate the supreme court since they started it

But if she said “I strongly support the second amendment”, they’d have no problem. So where’s the line? Is saying “bodily autonomy” okay, or is that too far? “Freedom”? “Liberty”?

Regardless, it seems like she’s within the letter of the law, so get bent losers.

Of course, as always, the republicans are fucking cowards and liars working to mislead you…

But the Republican Senators have mischaracterized the North Carolina Code of Judicial Conduct. It does not say that judicial candidates cannot comment on any issue that may appear before the court. The North Carolina Code of Judicial Conduct states that judges “should abstain from public comment about the merits of a pending proceeding in any state or federal court dealing with a case or controversy arising in North Carolina.” Riggs’ ad does not comment on any pending court proceeding

What about an uno reverse?
