Judge’s Drug Views Provoke Wide Reaction
Hats off to the Orange County Bar Assn. for supporting Superior Court Judge James P. Gray after he advocated drug legalization (“County Bar Supports Judge’s Right to Take Stand on Drugs,” April 24). The OCBA supported the judge’s right to have and express his own opinions. They did not necessarily support drug legalization.
People who disagree with Judge Gray should attempt to discredit the judge’s claims about drug legalization--not discredit the man himself.
The fact that certain people, such as Sheriff Brad Gates, wish to harm the judge’s career is ridiculous. After all, if Sheriff Gates decided to harm every person’s career who supported a controversial issue, Orange County’s unemployment rate would skyrocket.
