Judge Bernstein and Rose Bird
I honor Rose Bird for the campaign she has conducted for reelection as chief justice of the California Supreme Court. She is wise and her supporter, Judge Bernstein, is so foolish.
Achieving a public position is not all there is. It’s not worth destroying your own soul and dishonoring yourself. Whether she wins reelection or not I shall always respect her.
Her life goes on. We Californians may deprive ourselves of a wonderfully worthy public servant.
