Missouri court plan

Those who seek to change the plan have shown no evidence of corruption in the court system.

Skip Walther and others should not use their power in the Missouri Bar to influence judge selection.

The Missouri Plan has kept politics out of the judicial branch since its adoption in 1940. Let's not change that now.

A review of 10 legislative priorities shows the Missouri General Assembly could have done more this session to avoid the train wreck that has been postponed until next year.

A judge's job is to be impartial and make fair, unbiased judgments, not to represent a special interest. The influencing of judge selection by partisan elections should be avoided.

A ballot initiative would change the way Missouri picks judges to a process more closely resembling how federal judges are picked.
