The Missouri Bar has been circulating a poll indicating most Missourians support the current process for selecting judges. Is this poll accurate?
The poll the Missouri Bar has been circulating was biased and misleading. It was commissioned by one of George Soros’s liberal special interest groups and the poll questions were terribly misleading, leading readers to believe that the Governor has just as much influence as the Appellate Judicial Commission when it comes to picking judges. Under the current system, the Governor has no choice but to appoint one of the nominees submitted to him by the Commission. When presented with the truth, polls have shown as much as 60% of Missourians support giving the Governor and the people of Missouri more say in this process.
