    This is mind boggling. The Judicial Code of Conduct “prohibits any judicial candidate, regardless of the office they seek, from taking a position on any issue that may appear before the court” yet they are still required to run for office. So their ads cannot touch on any issue that a voter is most likely to consider important in choosing a candidate?

    I guess judicial political ads in NC are restricted to the candidate’s favorite color and favorite food, maybe the current weather but they better not talk about climate or they may cross a line there.
