The letter purportedly from Edmund G. (Pat) Brown may have been a forgery.
The court has given its imprimatur to laws proscribing sexual activity between consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes.
A word of commendation is in order with respect to the recent article by former Supreme Court Justice Otto M.
Justice is an illusive concept. Judges must not only be qualified, but unafraid.
We applaud your rational and reasonable editorial about Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird's reconfirmation.
The 2,230 identical, computer-printed letters (Dec. 8) from members of "Californians to Defeat Rose Bird" provided unintended symbolism of the kind of appellate judges Howard Jarvis' organization would like to foist upon the people of this state.
It is hard for people like me to decide how to vote for Rose Bird.
The Supreme Court has typically missed the point.
The implications of the Supreme Court ruling on Black Monday, June 30, 1986, are staggering.
Thank you for printing George Will's expose of the Supreme Court's fanaticism on the abortion issue.
As a seeker of truth and justice, and as a student of the media, I must hereby assert myself to protest the abuse of the term "independence" by the judiciary and the media.
Christopher correctly observes that "Our state Constitution permits the people to vote on their judges, a right that surely recognizes that citizens can evaluate whether incumbents have been faithful to their responsibilities."
I appreciated the fine article by Warren Christopher about Justice Joseph Grodin.
I applaud your paper's (inevitably unpopular) stance.
Your editorial (Oct. 20), "Support for the Justices," broke this camel's back.
This letter is from a registered Republican and one who is a strong supporter of the death penalty in California.
George Will accuses the U.S.
Speaking of fanaticism, George Will's latest diatribe against abortion is a model of twisted illogic that indicates desperation in the ranks of the self-righteous.
The subject of abortion and a woman's freedom of choice brings out all the pompous self-righteousness a George Will can muster!
I read with utter horror the letter upholding 80,000 Californians out for the blood of Chief Justice Bird for voting against the death penalty.
