Don’t miss this press release on the spending in judicial elections.
Earlier this week, Dahlia Lithwick and I offered a scary tour through the most negative judicial campaign ads of the current cycle. As of today, nearly half of the 800 voters on the ads have chosen our bonus feature, “Spouses Gone Wild!,” as the scariest video. But this brand new radio ad (out after our Slate piece was completed) by Alabama Justice Tom Parker is pretty scary too. In the ad, Justice Parker compares the federal district judge who decided the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” case to Al Qaeda.
