Judges

[Leesifer]

Also, looking at the who's been online list - Josephine are you also Josephine the Lawyer?

[livius drusus]

I miss Judge Floro.

I don't know what that means ... so I guess your suspicion is not well founded. My point is that there is enough concern that someone should look into the situation. The answer to your question is - No, they are not subject to retention ballots:

Oklahoma Supreme Court - Appointed by Governor, confirmed by senate;

Oklahoma Appellate Courts - Appointed by Governor, confirmed by senate, subject to a retention vote every 6 years;

Oklahoma District Court Judges - Elected every four years;

Oklahoma Special District Judges - Appointed by majority of District Judges in that district for an indefinite term.

I think we're all missing the key issue here.

show spoiler

Did Uth seriously say Tucker Freacking Carlson was hawt?!?!?!

[rigorist]

Family law sucks.

It's the bow tie. God, he's hawt.

I'm guessing that even if you were as hawt as Sarah Palin, you would be about as sexually attractive to Uthgar. ynut doesn't swing that way, he's hot for beyelzu.

Your own post shows you are incorrect in principle. As you have stated, Oklahoma District Judges are up for election periodically, either a retention election or standard election they have to file for. Campaign against them, buy some billboard space, whatever, but posting here in this forum will likely do little in that regard, only a very few FFers are registered to vote in Oklahoma. And even fewer give a rat's ass.

That's "Canuckistani" to you.

Curious.

Well...That's what she said.

What's an Oklahoma?

[Deadlokd]

So it's like a black hole then? A black hole of stupid. So what the hell are you and IW doing living there?

[Dingfod]

We got suckered into coming here, now we can't leave. It's that whole time-space Oklahomium thing. I'm not sure, but I think we need a Delorean, a clock tower, and 1.21 Gigawatts to escape.


Edited to add: Like Utah was better.

[Deadlokd]

You're screwed then. First of all Deloreans can only fit two people and that's without luggage and second there's only nine or so of them left.

ETA: Look on the upside, you can always have Josephine over for dinner.

[Caligulette]

I totally saw a Delorean in the parking lot of trader Joe's about a month ago. I'd forgotten about how cool they were. Also about how the already horrid economy of Belfast took a hit when the company went under.

"Canerdian" heh!

Two, without luggage? What's the downside?

If that's the upside, I don't even wish to ponder the downside.

[Angakuk]

Why do I get the feeling that Josephine has some personal issues with Judge Wright?

I bet he dismissed her lawsuit against the Roswell aliens. I'd be pretty upset about that, too.

[Angakuk]

Paternity suit? He is a Family Court judge isn't he?

I liked it for the same reasons too and within a few months of arrival in Oklahoma wondered why the hell I left Utah. I've tried to get my old job back several times. There is an opening there now that I'm pondering applying for again. Maybe 3rd time is the charm?

[Kael]

yeah, I drove through Oklahoma once, that about did it for me.

[Ensign Steve]

I've never driven through Oklahoma, but having driven across Texas three times, I think I understand the attraction.

[Dingfod]

To Utah?

[Ensign Steve]

To driving through Oklahoma instead.

Don't get me wrong, I love Texas. That's just a long fucking drive.
