Yesterday, the Michigan Republican Party filed a complaint against Bridget McCormack, a candidate for Michigan Supreme Court, for violating Judicial Canon 2, 5 and 7. McCormack was listed as a featured guest on the invites mailed out for last night's Kent County Democratic Gala. This is a problem.

The Judicial Canons prohibit Supreme Court candidates such as McCormack from serving as the draw and as the featured guest for a partisan fundraiser. The invites clearly indicated a cost ranging between $75.00 to $1,000 and all checks to be made payable to the Kent County Democratic Party.

Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak says:

"This flagrant violation of the Judicial Canons raises serious questions, did Bridget McCormack purposely violate the Judicial Canons or is she ignorant of the responsibilities to run-for and serve on Michigan's highest court?

Perhaps if Bridget McCormack didn't spend her career defending Guantanamo Bay terrorists and fighting technicalities to free convicted murderers, she would know more about the responsibilities that are required by Michigan Supreme Court Justices.

McCormack has dodged questions about Democratic Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway's violation of Canon 2, but there is no dodging the questions surrounding her clear violation of the Judicial Canons ."

Candidates for judicial office can appear at partisan events, however, they're prohibited from serving as the draw or listed as the special guest.

I mean maybe not actually enjoy the loud BOOOOOOO given by 75-100 demonstrators with hate filled resolve, but still feel .. umm I'm not sure.  Its just plain strange, but there was a thrill, perhaps even a weird exhilaration that these people took special notice as I walked through taking their pictures with my cell phone going into the governor's breakfast.  It was like they secretly LOVED [to hate] me.

Perhaps it was the realization that this is all they have.  The signs being carried to object to Snyder's budget, or EFM law or what have you, completely forgotten as the entire cadre of hard core lefties in the Grand Traverse region (from several counties I believe) turned to give me their full attention.  I realized the enjoyment of course as I burst out laughing at them, which made it louder.

Most of these folks were not the typical lefties mind you, they were the area's seasoned veterans who aren't afraid to block a sidewalk, lean on people's private vehicles, and generally prove that the maturity of the hyper liberal mind can be questionable.  As I have said before, I have Democrat friends.  And I know of a few who have even supported my efforts.  These folks in front of the venue holding the yearly affair, were the elite.
