The jurisdictional limit of justice " court" has been raised to 3500 I recall. Justice court "judges" should be required to be licensed attorneys in good standing with the bar.

Better yet, abolish Justice Court.

Blayne is a nice guy. But do justice court judges run in party primaries? Are they allowed to identify by party when other judges are not?

@4:09 - Justice Court is not a real court and individuals elected to preside therein as a so-called judge are not legitimate judges. To qualify to run for JC Judge one need only: (1) a qualified elector (eligible to vote); (2) be a resident of the county for 2 years preceding the date of the election; and (3) acquire a high school diploma or equivalent. In other words, to be a JC Judge one essentially needs a pulse. Thankfully the jurisdiction of the JC is next to nothing, which reflects the importance of the JC court system. Because JC Judges are not legitimate judges, they are treated as any other politician and are, therefore, eligible to affiliate with a party, run in primaries, and advertise themselves by party affiliation.

Nice outdoor grill in the picture. What is that supposed to tell me? Vote for the guy who can afford the fancy outdoor grill? He's one of us?

Is he running for the same seat as the judge who said "Run, n***** run!"?

@4:54 did you not have a good day with a REAL JUDGE(sarcasm)? Calm down and take a xanax. As ridiculous as it is state law allows a non- lawyer to be a judge. Such as a Sheriff does not have to be a certified law enforcement officer to hold office. Yes I do believe the laws need changing but it ain't gonna happen. So sit back and watch as these misfits rule the roost. And they are not next to nothing judges as they can incarcerate you sign warrants for arrest and search seizure and order fines. I do not agree but that's the law. So calm down.

He may win; he may lose. But he's gonna make damn sure everybody knows about that grill.

Teeth look fine. Don't see what the big deal is about them.

Blayne is a nice guy and a good lawyer. He will do a good job.

I practiced law with Blayne for a while. Good guy. Smart lawyer.

I've known Blayne since college. He is a very good lawyer and better person. He would do a great job.

I don't care who wins as long as they take care of that roaming livestock crime wave I heard about. Next time that happens, I want to see mugshots of the cows posted.

I'm not a political sort but with as many republicans that are running, doesnt Judge Berger stand a better chance of winning than he would if it were only a few? That Hawkins guy withdrew and requalified as an independent.

Wonder what Judge Berger is going to do if he loses? No LEO agency in their right mind would hire him. He'll have to take the blue lights out of his personal vehicles and the whole nine yards. He may not have to worry about it at all if he's convicted.

Y'all are fartin' in whirlwinds. This stuff is of very little interest in light of the fact that we have Hat-Woman-Stoakus wearing a black robe. That's where our problem is going to be.

As Dudy Noble was fond of saying, "Gentlemen, we're talking about rat shit and there's elephant turds lying all around".

Is this a full time job? Why would a successful atty want to be a justice court judge? What kind of practice does this guy have? Can he still practice in areas that don't involve a conflict?

@ 9:10 No. Easy money, less stress. Civil defense. Yes.

He passed away a few days ago. Very sad.
