FW Judiciary and administration must be fair : ! Our criminal justice system is an emblem of our standards of humanity. Fair dealing must be certain for those who find themselves accused of crimes. Judges play an important role in this process and are the first and last check in a system that must keep its promise to give every accused person a fair trial, no matter which political party is in power. Political consultants typically advise judicial candidates to appear tough on crime because the voting public confuses justice with crime-fighting. Judges and candidates do our community a disservice by promoting this misguided view. Judges should be neither tough on crime nor soft on crime but instead fair and impartial, following the law wherever it leads. The law requires judges to protect the citizens from their prosecutors. The public is only protected if our judges have the integrity to enforce the law despite contrary public opinion. The judiciary must be free to act on the law even when their decisions benefit defendants. Any judge who substitutes his or her own political beliefs for the law is not qualified to sit on the bench and certainly should not be given the tremendous responsibility of making life or death decisions. A judge who views himself or herself as doing the job of a prosecutor engages in the worst sort of judicial activism, impeding the separation of powers and insulting the memory of those who have fought to protect our constitutional freedoms The job of a judge is critical: to protect us by enforcing the constitutions without regard to whether doing so will benefit a particular defendant. The public is protected - from unfairness, from false accusations and ultimately from tyranny - only when judges have the integrity to enforce the law despite the tide of public opinion. In another word, judicial power must be fair !
