Congrats to our next Supreme Court Justice; Judge James P. Gilpatric


Congrats to Judge Gilpatric, who is now the Democratic, Independence and Conservative nominee for Supreme Court Justice and all but assured victory in November.

Judge Gilpatric, a veteran campaigner from the T.R. Gallo days is going to win and win BIG! He will also have some strong coattails that will coast Dems with him, Debra Schneer and Gilda Riccardi got a huge boost today!

    Any lawyer worth his salt should aspire to a 14 year term as a state supreme court justice.

    I think the elections in IRAN are fairer than these judicial races.

    Congratulations and good luck Jim! It sucks to lose a good lawyer, but...

    Hey!

    Do me a favor (if you read this) and check out Mike Madsen's blog ("Kingston Progressive") - and the associated postings - on the possiblility of inmates working to offset the tax-payer burden...

    I think this could be "key" in a number of ways - and deserves (along with some of the other ideas posted) some serious thought and research...

    Our best!

    more republicans support Gilpatrick than dems,,, the old school folks will help Jimmy

    Nina & Don will benefit more than those other two wannabes,,brungilda & schmear,

    Gilpatric is too smart to support the dem candidates for clerk & judge,

    you watch, actions will speak louder than words, kids,

    it is gonna be NINA & DON come november,,,

    i know things,,

    I agree. With Jimmy at the head of the ticket all candidates get a good boost. Come on Kingston, you hold the key to this election season. We need to move past the divisions that held us back last election cycle.

    hey 10:49, Gilpatrick by law cannot publicly support (or endorse) ANYONE! You should know that - he's a judge. Too bad Don Williams didn't know that when he stood up and endorsed Nina Postupack.

    5:20 Wait, is it a sitting judge that can't endorse or a judge candidate?

    Judges shouldn't even be elected! It's also true that electing a sherrif is unethical. We need to build a wall between these jobs and political corruption. Otherwise we'll just see more of the same.

    Judge Gilpatric will make a fine Supreme Court judge. He is fair, honest, and compassionate. He will rule from the bench in the true American tradition of Foster Brooks.
