This past weekend in San Diego there was a local Crossroads of the West Gun Show.

I love Gun Shows. To me they represent the free assembly of like-minded Constitutionalists. And since it is voting time here in San Diego the local candidates came out to "grip and grin" with 2nd Amendment loving voters and to convince them of their commitment to our civil rights.

But Buyer Beware --
There are many RINOs and Leftist-wolves in sheep's clothing. Last year Olga Diaz ran as a 'conservative' using Republican-like key-words in her campaign-- all the while being an ardent La Raza-agenda supporter-- and now she sits on the Escondido City Counsel. We cannot be fooled again by community-organized Libs and Leftists using conservative keywords to deceive the electorate.

So below are my research results and reflections on the current local crop of candidates:

CONSTITUTIONALIST JUDGES ON THE BALLOT

A splinter group of the Tea Party Movement has created a website called http://BetterCourtsNow.com which is in its infancy and is dedicated to the idea of informing the public about local and state-level Judicial nominees and candidates who hold true to Constitutional principles. Better Courts Now plans to go national-- and, buddy, we need a place to go to find out where true Constitutionalist Judges can be found!

Craig Candelore – Visit candidate website
Superior Court Judge – Office No. 14

Bill Trask – Visit candidate website
Superior Court Judge – Office No. 21
*
Harold Coleman, Jr. - Visit candidate website
Superior Court Judge – Office No. 27
*
Larry “Jake” Kincaid – Visit candidate website
Superior Court Judge – Office No. 34

I have personally interviewed 2 of these judicial candidates:

Jim Miller, Candidate for Superior Court Judge Seat 20
and
Larry Kincaid, Candidate for Superior Court Judge Seat 34

As you expect, neither candidate will entertain "hypothetical" case questions, which is fair, just and expected-- however, they did discuss in detail their judicial philosophies; of which I will share two important aspects here, which I use to qualify a judge [like a litmus test] as to their adherence to Constitutional principles:

1. Both of these men support the notion of 2nd Amendment rights, and oppose the idea that a person does not an inalienable right to use a firearm for defense of self and others when life-threatening aggression is factually established. They also support Concealed and Open Carry Laws for citizens.

2. Most significantly, both of these judicial candidates support the notion of "Jury Nullification".

Jury Nullification is the practice recognizing the absolute authority a jury has as both a trier of law and of the facts.

Back before the Civil War, it was almost impossible to get a conviction of a "runaway slave" from the South in a Northern court, because although the slave had broken the law, no Northern Jury would convict based on Jury Nullification. The Northern jurists determined that the Southern laws were immoral, and although as "triers of fact" they had to find the defendant guilty of breaking the law, they found them not guilty, because the law itself was immoral.

Since the Civil War, Jury Nullification has been relegated to the "back seat" of American jurisprudence, mainly by judges that don't want the average citizen to have the power to overturn, or make ineffective, laws passed by the legislature.

But those days are over -- We need again the power of Jury Nullification returned to the People.

Here is why:

Say the CA State EPA brings you or your company up on criminal charges for too much CO2 pollution.

Or say that the CA law now demands all firearms and ammunition be registered or confiscated, unless you pay fees or fines; and you refuse to pay, and are thus prosecuted.

Or say you refuse to pay the new health insurance tax.

Or say you decide to pay your personal doctor in cash, and both you and your physician are charged with breaking the law.

Or say that you buy your eggs or milk directly from the farmer, thus breaking one of the new regulations/laws regarding the regulation of agricultural commerce the Administration is now considering.

Jury Nullification would prevent your going to jail.

The power of the jury is the last line of defense against an all powerful government, and that is why a trial by a jury of your peers is in the Constitution as one of your fundamental rights as an American.

CONSTITUTIONALIST LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ON THE BALLOT

Jim Duffy for Sheriff
http://DuffyforSheriff.com

"I believe in the Second Amendment of our Constitution and agree with the US Supreme Court finding that it guarantees the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. Having law abiding citizens being able to protect themselves from criminals is a good thing in my book. I want law abiding citizens to have the ability to protect themselves, as law enforcement cannot always be present to do that."

Jay LaSuer
http://www.sheriffjay.org
Question: Should Law Abiding Citizens Be Issued Concealed Carry Permits?

"Many elected officials seem to have forgotten that when they took their oath of office they swore to uphold, defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. The last time I read the U.S. Constitution, it still contained the Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment. "

Both Duffy and LaSuer will enforce immigration laws.

DO NOT VOTE FOR GORE FOR SHERIFF. GORE IS A LIB.

==========================
Republican Primary Picks

These are my opinion picks, where there is a choice between candidates:

US SENATE
Chuck DeVore - solid conservative and Constitutionalist

SECRETARY OF STATE
Orly Taitz - although a bit of a kook, she knows the definition of a
Natural Born Citizen, and would seek to enforce eligibility standards on
both voters and candidates.

[Do Not Vote for Damon Dunn. Dunn refuses to answer specific questions and does not commit to the CA or US Constitutional-integrity of the candidate-eligibility statutes. I telephone-interviewed Dunn's press secretary at length and no attempt has been made by him to answer my questions. Also Beware that this guy is the Republican Establishment's pick for the office. After 2 yrs trying to get answers from the Republican Establishment in San Diego, it is obvious they are in lock-step with the Libs and Democrats on this issue.]

GOV AND LT GOV
As of today I have no opinion on Gov and Lt Gov.
