Soros Facing Defeat in Missouri

Soros Facing Defeat in Missouri

The Puppet Master, unrepentant Nazi collaborator, George Soros is trying to thwart the democratic process yet again.  In Missouri, voters may have the opportunity to put an end to crony justice:

 Under an initiative headed for the ballot in November, the state’s so-called merit selection method would be discarded and replaced by direct judicial elections, an outcome that would be an embarrassment to many who have pushed the Missouri plan as a model for other states. Used in some form by more than 30 states, the Missouri plan requires that vacancies be filled through an ostensibly nonpartisan judicial nominating commission. The commission selects a slate of potential judges from which the governor chooses a nominee. 

The effect of the current system has been to hand a third of the state government over to one profession with minimal accountability.  The notion of we the people having input into the selection of judges is deeply offensive to Soros:

The system has powerful defenders, however, including groups connected to the George Soros-funded Justice at Stake. And in Missouri, the response to the ballot measure has been fast and furious. Missouri Bar President H.A. Walther railed that the proposal would ‘put a price tag on each of the seven seats on our state supreme court.’

Former Missouri Supreme Court Judge and trial lawyer Chip Robertson and his Soros-affiliated ‘Missourians for Fair and Impartial Courts’ took to hassling the ballot initiative’s signature gatherers, using ‘blockers’ to discourage voters from signing petitions. But the initiative has so far survived all court challenges.

Let’s hope the wise voters of the Show Me state take their power back and away from George Soros.
