Jim Turpin at WDWS has not returned my Monday phone call that
replied to his radio show call-out that I appear with Justice Steigmann to
discuss my published letter [http://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/letters-editor/2016-05-17/judges-should-be-above-fray.html]
that criticizes judges who engage in partisan politics. I contended that judges
“are entitled to their opinions — but in doing so they undermine their
constitutional role as judges who are supposed to be above the political fray.”
In this podcast @wdws1400 (http://www.news-gazette.com/audio/2016-05-17/05-17-16-justice-robert-steigmann-responds-professor-michael-leroy.html),
Justice Steigmann said, “Let’s invite him [me] to come on this show and discuss
this at length.” Jim added, “That’s a good idea, I can try to set that up.” I
did not hear from Jim the rest of the week, so on Monday I called him
and left a message on his phone stating that I’d be happy to come on his show
for this purpose. Between that call on Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon— as
I write this post— it’s been radio silence from WDWS. Jim, how about Friday, May 27? Readers of ProfLERoy
will be updated on future developments.
