Justice is blind. At least, thatâs what weâre told.
But when judgesâ rulings consistently align with the special interests that elected them â even to openly ignoring or rewriting the law â itâs pretty clear the blindfolds are off.
This is what weâve seen from our state Supreme Court. In 2015, the trial bar, unions, and Democrats spent more than $11 million in the most expensive state judicial elections in history at that time to sweep three open seats on the court and gain a 5-2 Democrat majority.

Since then, the court has issued rulings advancing government unionsâ interests, fulfilling trial lawyersâ dreams, and granting Democratsâ political wishes.

In the late 1960s or early 70s, the Rev. Armour Roberts drove three boys from Bismarck to New Leipzig to visit another priest, the Rev. John Owens.
The men mixed cocktails for the boys, and the boys high school freshmen drank until they were drunk. One passed out and later awoke with Owens standing over him, partially naked and inappropriately touching him. Owens had already molested another boy. Roberts was in an upstairs room with the third boy.
