Judge Mirocznik brings a wealth of legal experience to his new assignment.

Miss Thunberg, in the eyes of many, carries moral authority, without any need to actually articulate a moral argument. The mistaken assumption of gravitas and moral wisdom is very dangerous and has real-world consequences.

Her deep compassion and commitment to fairness guide everything she does. Susan will be an unbiased, principled judge who will make us proud to have supported her.

In the 48th we urge a vote for Inna Vernikov.
