On May 12, U.S. District Court Judge Amul R. Thapar, a Bush Jr. appointee, struck down some Kentucky regulations that inhibit speech by judges and judicial candidates. Kentucky elects all its state judges in non-partisan elections. The case is Winter v Wolnitzek, e.d., 14-119.
The invalidated regulations: (1) ban judicial candidates from campaigning as a member of a political organization; (2) ban judicial candidates from making speeches for or against a political organization or candidate; (3) ban them from contributing to a party or a candidate; (4) ban them from engaging in any other political activity except activity on behalf of measures to improve; (5) bans them from making pledges or promises with regard to issues.
