  1. Who cares what the libtard ISBA losers write.

    Brown nose and don’t make waves. Don’t you dare make any waves.

    LGBTQXYZ agenda, you better be good with it or get out.

    Illegal alien special rights over ordinary citizens, you better support it or forget it.

    The whole rotten liberal orthodoxy, support it or get out.

    Worship at the Idol of Diversity or you are the oddball.

    Actually, considering the poor judiciary in this state and county, no conservatives need apply to judicial positions.

    The appointment racket takes care of it anyway.

  2. What about Nader, she’s a real ‘prize.’ Why is she behind the McClelland campaign?

  3. In a function place, like IA or WI, Hansen would get straight C’s.

    The Problem is that he’s running against people who are crooked (McClellan) or opportunistic/vainglorious (Brewer)

  4. Ms Trumpion: what evidence do you have that Judge Nader has anything to do with McClellan’s campaign? No endorsement, no donations, no position in her campaign, no mention of the judge on the website. You just slither in here anonymously, making things up.

  5. Terminator: the poll is anonymous, so it has no element of trying to please the judge being evaluated. He has no idea how any individual rated him.

    Name a case in which you think he did a bad job, so I can look it up and report on it.

  6. Martin you know very well the few cases he ever tried were never reported.

    Are you Hansen?

  7. You argue like a child.

    You do not know what I do or do not know.

    You say: “the few cases he ever tried were never reported.”

    Your thought here is not clear as to whether you mean cases he tried as a lawyer or cases he heard as a judge.

    Either way, give me name and case number.

    One can learn a lot by looking at the common law record available for public inspection.

    All pleadings, motions, briefs, orders and more.

    You won’t, because like your anonymous coward comrades above, you spout nonsense you cannot back up with evidence.

  8. From the ISBA website:

    “The results of the 2020 Primary Judicial Advisory Polls (outside Cook County) and Judicial Evaluations (Cook County and Appellate and Supreme Court outside Cook County) will be available near February 20, 2020.”

    So keep your eyes open.

  9. Martin, don’t be fooled. If we lived in a normal place, people like Hansen might be elected.

    The Truth is, so many sitting judges are political tools, or they slept with the right people way back when, or had to be bought off.

    Yes, a few honest people do, somehow, get through: like Gervais for example.

    But they are in the minority.

    Watch out for the John Marshall Mafia, too!
