More likely or less likely to support?
Let's assume that Judge X's father was killed after Judge X had grown up and become a judge. The killer of the father was convicted and executed for the murder of Judge X's father.
Does this information make you more or less likely to support Judge X to be a Supreme Court justice? |

Re: More likely or less likely to support?
I don't get it. Do you mean like a sympathy vote? Because that would just be dumb.

Re: More likely or less likely to support?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't get it. [/ QUOTE ] There is nothing to get. Maybe being a close family member of a victim involved in a death penalty case would affect how that judge thinks about the death penalty. Did the execution bring closure to him/her? Does he/she now have a victim's family perspective? Or would it not really affect his/her judicial decisions at all? I don't know the answer, but judge X is one of the likely nominees of Bush to the Supreme Court, and I wonder if this aspect of judge X's personal history matters to anyone. |

Re: More likely or less likely to support?
I would give more support to any judge that had been personally involved in a murder case. I think judges become to dinsinfranchised with victims and forget what the legal system is all about.

Re: More likely or less likely to support?
I am less likely to support a judge who favors the death penalty than one who does not, if that's what you're getting at.

Re: More likely or less likely to support?
I voted no. However, how much did the judge push for the death penalty? This could affect my support for him.

Here is a picture you don't see every day. The two most powerful black people in the country chatting with each other, and the most powerful hispanic in the country in the background.
