Why Vote NO:  Our Courts are not for SALE. This constitutional amendment would turn judges into political candidates forced to raise money from outside special interests for their partisan political campaigns.

VOTE NO! A vote against this constitutional amendment would continue our proven fair, merit-based Kansas supreme court nominating commission. To fill a vacancy on the Kansas supreme court, this Nominating Commission provides the governor a choice among three  throughly vetted individuals. Justices hold office for a term of six years and must retain their offices through nonpartisan elections in which they do not face an opponent.

• • Our Courts are not for sale.

  • We want good judges - not good politicans.

  • Keep politics out of the Supreme Court.

  • Justice should not be for sale to the highest bidder.

  • Keep dark money out of our courts.

  • Our current merit-based system has worked extremely well over seven decades.

  • Our constitutional repoductive rights,  required adequate funding of our public schools, and fair elections must be protected.

A "YES" vote would  abolish the current merit-based Kansas supreme court nominating commission. Judges would then be forced to become partisan candidates raising money from outside special interest groups.

• Our courts would then be up for sale.

• Our courts would judge cases influenced by their campaign funders.

• Our courts would become influenced by partisan politics rather than the law.

• You will get even more fundraising solicitations.
