REGARDING:
” It’s not ethical to switch parties with four years left on your term after being appointed and elected by the opposition.”

The voters are the opposition? They twice voted for him at the same time they voted for Republicans for President, Senate, House of Representatives, Governor.

Ronald Reagan once said that he didn’t leave the Democratic Party, that it left him. I don’t think it’s changed all that much in a long time, but Judge David Jordan’s values may have.

For that matter, I’m not aware of any code of ethics which addresses the proper time to switch parties. Maybe people should never change parties just as I never have, loyal Democrat that I am.

David for ethical parties
and the tooth fairy

Judge Jordan will continue to do the great job he has always done. He did put months of prayer into this decision. I respect him for having the courage to make the change. I have known him for a long time and have a lot of respect for him. I wish him the best in the Republican Party!

I am proud of the decision this Judge has made. Too bad that the other judge that was going to run as a republican and then about 20 minutes before time ran out decided to run as a democrat.
It takes alot of good charater and morals to do the “right” thing.
I bet Judge Jordan sleeps good at night, not so sure about the other judge.

Ethics is the most important thing about being a judge. It’s not ethical to switch parties with four years left on your term after being appointed and elected by the opposition.

Ethics is the most important part of being a judge. It’s not ethical to switch parties with four years left on your term after being appointed and elected by Democrats.

Why is it that after politicians make obviously political decision that they say it was done after “after months of thought and prayerful consideration” ?

Was it thought and prayerful consideration that caused him to originally seek the appointment from Gov. Don Seigelman?

Nah……its ambition……..in both cases.

The best decision to guarantee he has a contested election.

Let’s see…….beg a Democratic Governor and Politicians to appoint you as Judge the n when the winds blow the other way party flip…after thoughtful prayer.

I really doubt there is a difference the way a Dem or Repub Judge will handle speeding tickets and DUI cases.

The best decision to guarantee re-election.

Maybe some clarification as to why the honorable judge felt it necessary; from the judge, not the spin-masters.

There is really so little difference between Dems and Repubs that it really doesn’t matter, does it?

Let’s see if any of his decisions follow constitutional or liberal views after this big ‘decision.’
