A Game of Benches?
Republican activists manipulate judicial selection, diminish judicial independence
Author’s note: As a Republican judge having presided in a Harris County misdemeanor criminal court for the last fifteen years I’ve given much thought to our current judicial selection process.

Trouble Comin' Every Day
In 1965 Frank Zappa wrote the song "Trouble Comin' Every Day" after watching news coverage of the Watts Riots. His lyrics are still relevant to this day. The song first appeared on "Freak Out" the debut album of The Mothers Of Invention. It has been re-recorded several times over the years with little change in its powerful message. The lyrics read like a news story right out of the riots that have swept the country in 2020. Frank may be gone now, but his genius lives on.
