Rhode Islander, American, civics, sailing, fitness. Bring back the Cool Moose Party! line item veto. Abolish the R.I. Lt. Governor office. Exploring a run.
@SamuelWBell@TheRazor51 He isn’t some conservative in sheep’s clothing. Nor should the General Assembly or a political party control the Supreme Court.
@SamuelWBell@TheRazor51 You should stick to rocks or stars or whatever it is you study because you clearly don’t understand the judiciary or Justice Matos, an immigrant who became the first in his family to attend college. Respected by all. Not an ounce of politics. Rules without fear or favor.
@SamuelWBell@JoeShekarchi@MichaelYelnosky Constantly attacking judges as partisans, with no proof whatsoever erodes confidence. If you had proof, different story. But there is none. It’s reckless.
@SamuelWBell@JoeShekarchi@MichaelYelnosky Please. Justice Matos is not a republican, nor are any other members on either long or short list. Nor is the Court intended to be partisan. This is not SCOTUS. They apply the law. Most cases involve criminal convictions, family court matters, business and estates.
@MichaelYelnosky Judge Mary McElroy was appointed by Trump (because of Reed/Whitehouse) I don’t think anyone would consider her conservative. It’s myopic and misleading to suggest any attorney who worked for a Republican appointed judge (or DOJ) is a republican.
@SamuelWBell I don’t think that’s accurate. Matos is a fair and thoughtful jurist, often sharp on suppression issues for Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. The framing of purely right vs left loses some muster on the bench. We have no idea how Shekarchi would be as a judge but we know Matos
