Ohio Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart is very intelligent, thoughtful, and wise. It is concerning that she has significantly more integrity than many members of the U.S. Supreme Court.
What a great interview! I was born in Springfield, Ohio, but live out of state for my adult life. I have been sad but am so encouraged by your channel. I am glad I got to see it so could subscribe now!
I hope you win, Justice Melody Stewart. I really do. How could the OH Supreme Court rule that boneless wings is a cooking style, and there's reasonable belief there will be bones in boneless wings? 1. Boneless wings are NOT a "cooking style." 2. Boneless literally means without bones. 3. Can the OH Supreme Court be overruled? The law is supposed to be equal. The law shouldn't care about a person's political affiliation, race, gender, sex, ability, etc. How have things gotten SO bad that the judicial branch is nonsense by some standards? Is there 15:17 anything that can be done to right their blatant wrongs?
I hope Justices across the nation listen to the words and judicial ideology spoken by Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart because they are wise words.
Justice Melody Stewart has my vote. Thank you for presenting this discussion. I, personally, struggle with voting for judges. It is such an important position, and I often feel I do not have enough data to make an informed decision. Discussions like this one assist me in that regard.
Thank you for this interview. Around the country we are appalled at how degraded democracy has become in states like Ohio. I am praying for Justice Stewart, who is by far the superior candidate, to prevail.
Marc Elias and the Elias Law Group, Democracy Docket- American HEROE! We just moved to Ohio from AZ! I am so excited to cast my vote for Justice Stewart! I attended a panel discussion with the 3 Democrat judges I will have the honor to vote for, she is brilliant as are the other 2. Let's hope for an indisputable BLUE win November 5
Nc did the same thing, made judges declare a party, then court became Maga repubs. It's been downhill here ever since. It's a tactic that really works, stacks the courts with raw partisans. It's super sad and frustrating here.
Kimm.J,too many judges are in this government to take care of themselves and their “patrons “,those politicians who they may have either clerked for, or they are enjoying unbridled power and influence over their own constituents.
It should be mandatory that the United States Supreme Court have equal representation for both parties. There also needs to be enforcement of rules about recusal If a judge is appointed by someone - that judge should not be deciding cases involving that person's interests. Judges should not be above the law. Sanctions, including impeachment, should be enforced.
I’m an an Ohioan and can tell you it’s a very racist State. We need to vote Blue 💙💙💙💙 down the entire ballot. We have to know how important this is, not only just voting in the general elections but every election.
@@kimberlysauber5601it should be played out but our courts across the country is strongly structured that way and has been used for injustice since creation’s it’s where the term White privileged were created! Power over truth and honesty
I am working with the Democratic Party in Warren County, Ohio and here are the ONLY THREE judges to vote for in Ohio: Michael P. Donnelly, Lisa Forbes, and Melody Stewart. Remember, if you are voting in Ohio these judges are not listed as Democrat or Republican. This means you have to write these names down before going to vote. Also, for Ohioans please vote YES for Citizens Redistricting Commission to stop Gerrymandering in Ohio.
Do you have a citizen redistricting commission in Ohio??? You would definitely benefit from having one. Michigan ran a very successful campaign to get it on the ballot and it is working quite well. If someone could get ahold of Voters Not Politicians in Michigan I’m sure they’d help you to how do it, if you do not have one.
I had to move from MI to Cleveland for a couple years and man do I miss Michigan!! This states government is out of control. Bunch of liars, cheaters and racist politicians. Crazy.
Issue 1 this November is an Amendment to create one and hopefully it passes. Unsurprisingly OH Republicans are trying everything to get it to fail. I hope my fellow Ohioans make it the 3rd Isssue 1 in a year the GOP doesn’t get their way.
Our judiciary already suffers from too much partisanship. It's sad to see that some states are pushing for increasing partisanship rather than a modicum of neutrality. I hope Justice Stewart wins the race!
An honorable judge in Ohio? Wow we need to replace Jim Jordan too that will come!!! The people will decide at the ballot box you & Comer can create all the chaos you want other Jim Crow monsters in politics did but WE WONT GO BACK!!
Politicizing the courts, who would ever do that? Hmm (scratches head) Can't think of anyone that would do that. (looks towards SCOTUS) Absolutely non-partisan court.
can the president make a amenmment to the constitution by excutive order if so Biden needs to do one that the UNITED STATES can never become a dictatorship nor a kingship ever
Good night team mark u are great u know how to take gop criminals to court and win bad can't over come good u doing this for kids of America u are these kids god father u don't know them but in years to come your work keep them better and better America put these criminals in prision god bless
If the State Supreme Court Justices have to be elected, then why don’t they make the Justices on the SCOTUS have to be elected instead of being appointed by a President? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Their personal political affiliation is only one aspect of “who they are.” Also, it is a fallacy. Good judges are impartial and do not decide cases based upon political party lines. Adding political affiliation simply divides further along party lines as opposed to focusing on experience, record and ability to fulfill judicial obligations.
Judges and justice’s are supposed to be impartial, non partisan. The law isn’t D or R therefore, a judge or justice’s personal politics shall not have any bearing on their rulings. A citizen’s vote should be base on their education, Bar Association credentials, support within the community, judicial or litigation record, years of experience and accumulated knowledge, not by their declaration of party affiliation. The very act seems antithetical to the ideal of Justice being blind. As a private citizen we have the right to keep our vote private, so should the judiciary, because party lines should never be a basis for decisions based on the rule of law and precedent. Do your homework, google them, their records are public and easily accessible. The people that decided to do this count on you being lazy, two words…Kyrsten Sinema.
I am a subscriber and avid follower. Now the bad news: Please realize that the 3,000 year old "judicial system" is an artifact of, well, ancient civilization. They had to hold "hearings" because nobody could read or write. "Hearsay" was just a fancy way of saying gossip is not evidence. Hell, what if you just use a language besides Latin or Greek for your... juris prudence?! The case for modernization seems... prima facie! Please. The enlightenment didn't happen until... let's say Newton. That means "preponderance of evidence" is a farcical throwback to a time when wisdom was literally anybody who could still walk at 60 years old. Please update the assumptions of your field. Most things are not physics, and objectivity will take some work, but at least TRY for a system that uses objective, measurable, modes of decision. P.S. ... what's with the "robes" and the "bench"? Why are judge chairs higher than everybody else's? Wait. Are you gonna paint portraits where everybody poor is literally tiny and shown below the feet of the bigger king figure? What is this? Yet you want to pay lip service to equal justice for all? And precedent v statute... Isn't "precedent" awfully close to the word "prejudice"? 😮
That is one of the problems with the Two-Party System. We need to transition to Ranked Choice Voting. RCV solves the multitude of problems with the current system and Electoral College. RCV is the clear path forward. As for now, I encourage everyone to VOTE BLUE for DEMOCRACY. 💙
Thank you, Justice Stewart and Ms. Hill, for defending democracy and justice against corruption.
Ohio Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart is very intelligent, thoughtful, and wise. It is concerning that she has significantly more integrity than many members of the U.S. Supreme Court.
What a breath of fresh air! I am not in Ohio, but I pray this woman is reelected. God bless you!
What an intelligent and thoughtful person! Great interview!
Excellent program thank you Judge & Democracy Docket
Thank you Justice Stewart. You deserve to win!
I agree with the both of you ladies 💯 percent, I wish you the best we need more honest, honorable judges like you.
Best wishes for a win.
We need to know more about what is going on in every state across the nation,
This was a great interview! I live in Ohio and have been working to get our THREE dem. Justices on the Ohio SC.
Justice Stewart will be getting my vote, and all Blue down the ballot. 💙💙
Thank tou for this.
Well done ! The conversation was very enlightening 🙏
The best of luck to you Justice Stewart.

Judges/Justices from all levels should come together to speak out against Convict45.
Kimm.J,too many judges are in this government to take care of themselves and their “patrons “,those politicians who they may have either clerked for, or they are enjoying unbridled power and influence over their own constituents.
only the honest ones will do so … and as we’ve all witnessed scotus has some very compromised judges … deplorable
Mitch McConnell should be charged with dereliction of duty for refusing to nominate Merritt Garland to the Supreme Court.
GREAT WORK HERE.
Thank you, Justice Stewart. You have my vote.
Courage! Justice Stewart is a DEMOCRACY STEWARD!
Thank you, Democracy Docket, for introducing me to Justice Melody Stewart. Much, much respect to her; my admiration knows no bounds.
OMG! That was a ridiculous ruling by the Ohio SC! "Boneless is NOT a "cooking style"! It's a raw meat processing method!
The ruling seems devoid of common sense, given the case.
The English language is the most ambiguous language in the world. 😢❤
Courts in a democracy make the Constitution come before party.

Great info- thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
thank-you for the interview. Thi is a very important service for the public and should be used in schools for civics education.

We tried once. We're trying to dummy proof it this time.
Keep up the great work
Our judiciary already suffers from too much partisanship. It's sad to see that some states are pushing for increasing partisanship rather than a modicum of neutrality. I hope Justice Stewart wins the race!
Judges should be qualified for the office in order to run at various levels. Experience 1st! We don't need a country full of Aileen Cannons. 😝
Love the take on education! ❤
Thanks, ma'am!
This year voting is not about left and right, it's right and wrong. Save Democracy
well said 👍🏻👍🏻
Wrong still, dont vote left if you wish to save any democracy.
An honorable judge in Ohio? Wow we need to replace Jim Jordan too that will come!!! The people will decide at the ballot box you & Comer can create all the chaos you want other Jim Crow monsters in politics did but WE WONT GO BACK!!
We need 🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵 in the Supreme Court because they are so biased like Thomas
Partisan judicial elections in a highly gerrymandered state(NC)work for the gerrymandering party. I wish you luck ma’am.
Another judge’s judge. This attitude is what’s needed in every court in the country. Ohio, you need Melody Stewart on your Supreme Court.
Politicizing the courts, who would ever do that? Hmm (scratches head) Can't think of anyone that would do that. (looks towards SCOTUS) Absolutely non-partisan court.
😏
Too late. Our SCOTUS can be bought like a pack of gum.
Thank you.
can the president make a amenmment to the constitution by excutive order if so Biden needs to do one that the UNITED STATES can never become a dictatorship nor a kingship ever
Admendment to the Constitution is a,process involving congress and then approval from states.....get a free copy of the Constitution...
It started with the extreme court of United States
Good night team mark u are great u know how to take gop criminals to court and win bad can't over come good u doing this for kids of America u are these kids god father u don't know them but in years to come your work keep them better and better America put these criminals in prision god bless

The court is already politicized, it started with Mitch McConnell.
Can you give us your name again
I live in Broward County FloridA and unfortunately I can’t vote for you
Her name is Melody Stewart
Question I have is why is most of the Supreme Court biased with Trump
Money and/or power.
OHIO has never worked for the people,
Yez
The GOP wants to put political R , or D after candidate name . That’s a good idea because I want to know who they are .

@@lorriehiner4049- Not as long as the crooked GQP has a say.
Exemplary
Because warnings have worked so far 🙄
I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT!
Talk to the US Supreme Court.
No one else matters.
So this is great but has anybody seen the US Supreme Court?
Oops. Too late.
Justice Melody Stewart, you are a musician?

RCV doesn’t solve the problem entirely. It needs to be combined with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).
