Jeff Roe Wants to Destroy Our Judicial Branch

I heard Jeff Roe speak at the KCMBA Bench-Bar-Boardroom convention in May of 2007. He spoke about the politicalization of judicial races in Missouri. Jeff Roe, and anyone who hires him, is causing our judges to be influenced by political pressure.

Partisian races for judges are ugly. Who wants a judge that has accepted $100,000 donations from someone else, especially someone on the other side of a case? That is what we have in IL and GA. Favors will be expected. That is what Graves/Roe want. They want to dismantle the Missouri Non-Partisian Court Plan that allows us to pick great judges. Graves/Roe don't want neutral judges, they want judges to do them favors.

Jeff Roe talked about how he took $200,000 from unnamed people, attacked Judge Brown from Cole County and knocked him off. Why - because he could. No other reason. Jeff Roe never met Judge Brown, Jeff Roe never met Judge Brown's opposition. Jeff Roe told the FBI that Judge Brown was misusing state funds to get an investigation opened and the investigation went nowhere because it was false. Even with that, Jeff Roe ran direct mail pieces to say the Judge Brown was under a federal investigation.

There is but one way to stop Graves/Roe - vote against anyone who hires Jeff Roe.
