FOLLOW-UP ON 3/19/19 POST ABOUT MISSISSIPPI'S APPELLATE COURTS
Charles D. Owens, II
April 2019
On March 19, 2019 my article about Mississippi's appellate courts posted on this site.
Shortly thereafter I received a letter from a respected friend who'd read the post. He proposed some very valid questions: if people in Mississippi read the post, how might they do something about this bias and skew of the system? Is the system salvageable by the electorate? What might they do to respond to the injustice?
The system can ALWAYS be salvaged by the electorate IF people are willing to take action and demand change. Two clear options are available to Mississippians who take issue with the bias and skew of the system. First, they could opt to NOT vote for incumbent appellate judges who've been appointed by governors with activist agendas for the courts. Second, they could make this issue during gubenotorial campaigns and choose NOT to elect any governor with such an agenda.
Those who disagree with the judicial bias I described should speak very clearly with their vote. We will elect a new governor this November. That's a good time to start!
Special thanks to my friend who pointed out the need to write this follow-up.
