An appeals court candidate in Ohio has yard signs that say, “Jesus is my savior. Trump is my president.” It's one example of an emerging paradigm in the state and nationwide, where judges and judicial candidates are openly acting more partisan.

The state was given this power by the legislature in 2024.

SCOHIO ruled that the State may immediately appeal preliminary injunctions blocking its laws.

This is a huge win for democracy! Prior practice held only a permanent injunctions was appealable, often resulting in years of a county judge overruling the legislature.
