There are a number of reasons: First, the Powers That Be don’t like judicial candidates with outspoken opinions. You are supposed to wait until you are on the bench before you become a nutcase, like the “Honorable” Roderic Duncan, for instance. Second, most California governors are Republican and I’m a Democrat. Third, the vast majority of appointed judges come from the DA’s office, which I consider to be a hotbed of Nazis.

I suppose I could go on, but why do you ask?
