I saw a candidate for the court of common pleas receive the endorsement of a county Fraternal Order of Police and in the endorsement agreed to sign a pledge to support issues involving police and other matters. Is that improper?
Clearly, no judicial candidate should ever sign a pledge as to what he or she is going to do or not do in office other than to be fair, just, knowledgeable in the law, supportive of the constitution, and to run an efficient and courteous courtroom. There can be no other pledges.
