Upholding Nonpartisan Justice in Montana: A Commitment to Fairness and Independence

Supporters of Montana's judicial integrity advocate for maintaining an impartial and independent judiciary. They emphasize that judges elected through partisan campaigns cannot truly serve as unbiased arbiters of justice. Historically, justice has been symbolized by balanced scales, representing fairness without favoritism. When these scales are manipulated—akin to rigged elections or biased appointments—they undermine the core principles of justice. While political parties are not inherently corrupt, their pursuit of power can threaten judicial neutrality. Preserving nonpartisan judicial processes ensures that justice remains fair and untainted by political influence.
