NC: She was portrayed as soft on sex offenders. Now the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to back her up

Admin

Robin Hudson could have gotten smeared for siding with sex offender Lester Packingham. Instead, the U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to vindicate her – and remind us all of the dangers of a politicized judiciary.

Hudson, an N.C. Supreme Court justice, was in fact smeared when she dissented in a separate case in 2010 involving child molesters. In her 2014 re-election bid, Hudson faced a half-million dollars worth of TV attack ads from special interests that twisted that dissent and portrayed her as soft on sex offenders. Full Article

Robin Hudson, NC Supreme Court justice,
is exactly a profile of courage;
the example of separation of powers;
the courage in the path of Kennedy Road : the ability to see for all.
The Constitution isn’t for the few , but for all.
If I’ve said it once,…..I can say it a thousand-times:
Auto plate NC motto should read:
NC the unconstitutional state.

It takes courage for anyone to stand up for RCs when the dominant fears us, so I honor Robin Hudson for risking her career for us by boldly standing up for what is right.

My fellow RCs, if she can stand up boldly for us, we also must stand up boldly for ourselves, not hide and hope things magically get better, or find some issue as a way to justify not joining our efforts.

Fragmented, we lose hope. United, we have hope.

ACSOL is the most effective organization that fights for our rights, so–even if you may not agree with every position ACSOL takes and action ACSOL recommends–I ask you to join me in supporting ACSOL in every way you can, including financial help, attending the phone conferences, and (for Californian RCs) writing letters.

Together we can do what seems impossible.

God bless her soul! At least she can sleep peacefully at night knowing that she did the right thing for society. That is very admirable. Judges that side with popular opinion should be kicked out of the justice system, that’s not American.

Why aren’t more challenges to the registry focused where judges are appointed?

We have no hope when they are elected. Especially if they want to run again.

What about the IML challenge? Are those judges in federal court appointed?
