Comments on: Too little information on judges’ performance, too http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2006/05/too_little_info/ The Wichita Eagle Editorial Department Blog Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:57:13 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5.2 hourly 1 By: KS Meadowlark http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2006/05/too_little_info/#comment-43777 KS Meadowlark Fri, 26 May 2006 02:32:54 +0000 http://blogs.varsitykansas.com/weblog/2006/05/too_little_infohtml/#comment-43777 There's too little reporting about the Kansas courts by the press, too. Why is that? For example:Why hasn't anyone in the Kansas media investigated why Supreme Court Justice Nuss recused himself from Montoy v. State of Kansas in 2002, AND AGAIN from Montoy V. State of Kansas in 2006? Why didn't his first recusal "stick"?<a href="http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2006/05-16.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2006/05-16.htm</a> The Kansas Supreme Court has 5 Democrats and 2 Republicans when Kansas is only about 27% Democrats? I really wish all the judges were registered as independents, but their party affiliation is a good indication of political philosopy -- one that is out of step with the majority of Kansans.<a href="http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2005/07-22.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2005/07-22.htm</a> So why are these items not worthy of press coverage in Kansas?
