Dear Rose,

Sounds like the people of Kootenai County, Idaho need to
get them a new judge! Also, sounds like that poor lady needs
a good lawyer who will take some action. It would be hard
for such a thing as that to happen in Louisiana, even as
backward as Louisiana is. Its laws are not as backward as the
rest of the state is, however. We elect our state District
Court judges here; and although one is seldom, if ever,
defeated for re-election, nevertheless, they do fear that
possibility and try to consider both sides of a case and not
render any stupid decisions like you have referred to here.
I believe in the elction of judges. I wonder if they elect
their judges in Idaho, or whether they get them assigned to
them by someone else. I wish we could elect our Federal
judges, rather than have them appointed purely on the basis
of politics. Bush has surely appointed some sorry ones. Hope
some of them don't get confirmed! Oh, well! Tell me
something new! Nice seeing your post! Best of luck! Hope
it all works out for the lady who was done so wrong by the
judge in Idaho. Give her my regards and tell her we are
pulling for her to get her kids back. Now why would a judge
ever do a thing like that!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Lake Charles, LA
