Folks,

Hampton has asked me to link to his interview on 1360wchl of both Barbara Jackson and Bob Hunter, candidates for the open seat on the NC Supreme Court.

The interviews are informative and wideranging, and provide more indepth information than you are likely to get anywhere else on this important but little-noticed race.

Here is the link.

Thanks!

P.S. My two cents? Vote for Bob Hunter. Judge Jackson was a signatory of a number of opinions which had the effect of elevating form over substance, attempting to throw out appeals based on minor violations of the Appellate Rules. The Supreme Court ultimately reversed those decisions and asked the Court of Appeals to stop placing such issues over justice.

Bob has been a solid and serious judge and public servant his entire career. He deserves this promotion.

FYI - in depth interviews in other places

The NC Center for Voter Education has two sets of interviews of these candidates: one, on Voter Radio (accessed by the web); two, to be broadcast with NCCVE's partner, UNC-TV, on statewide TV. When not on my cell phone but a laptop I will provide weblinks. The non-profit, good government organization does a tremendous public service and I wanted to give it a shout out plus let folks know that there are additional resources for voters needing in-depth information about candidates.
