Tell The NC Legislature: Stop Rigging The System

Last November, North Carolina fairly elected Justice Mike Morgan to the North Carolina Supreme Court for an 8-year term. Now our legislature wants to reduce all judicial terms from 8 years to 2.  This not only undermines the will of the people of North Carolina, it undermines our entire judicial system. It is only one of the ways that our legislature wants to rig the courts so they can pass bad legislation unchallenged.

This year the General Assembly:

1. Made judicial races partisan.

2. Cancelled all upcoming judicial primaries

3. Redrew judicial districts in order to gerrymander them the same way they have done with the legislature.

4. Proposes reducing judicial terms from 8-years to 2-years

5. Proposes dispensing with judicial elections altogether, instead appointing judges making them even more beholden to partisan ideologies.

This is just plain unfair and cheating the system. Essentially, they want to rig the system so they can pass more bad legislation to cut public school funding, cut taxes for corporations, and cut clean water regulations for big polluters, and do it completely unchallenged.
