Nepotism in the Courts

Okay, this might be just a coincidence, but it’s highly suggestive and real questions need to be answered. The public needs more.

In short, the judge sitting over the CdA city elections legal contest challenge - Judge Simpson – his wife has the same address as a person who voted in the elections who listed his residence from her office. [...]

Making sense out of no sense at all

I wish we had more legal opinion blogs like SCOIDBlog. He analyses Idaho Supreme Court Opinion for us. A little over we ‘non-legal heads’ but still written clear enough to get the gist of things. In this case – In the Matter of the Termination of Parental Rights and Adoption of: Jane Doe, John Doe - SCOIDBlog [...]

Dear Mr. Henderson, 

In my efforts to understand the Idaho Judicial System, I have asked for documents regarding the Idaho Supreme Court committees and their formation and you have responded and I appreciate your time and effort to retrieve that information. I also realize that asking you for more information will not necessarily get me anywhere, so [...]
