Maybe I'm looking at that post different than you but the way I read it is.... this is an issue that could cause him to NOT get re-elected if he's an elected official, therefore it should be sent to another district/area to keep the "political" out of it! WHICH, he ruled the way many feel he should have while others feel just the opposite... prime example IMHO of what the poster was trying to get across.

I see your point, but the statement was made to the effect of - in Lexington where the was an "impartial judge". Being elected a judge and then avoiding controversial decisions for political gain is, IMO, just as unethical as ruling for political gain. The "impartial" part just got my goat a little. I sensed an implication that there was no way a judge in Pike County could be impartial. Maybe I was wrong and if so I apologize. However, I think folks in the hills need to realize we have many darn good professionals - and a few duds, but that is universal
