John Washington III Questions Whether State Judges Put the Constitution First in the Courtroom
John Washington III, a 2028 presidential candidate, raised a conflict-of-interest question about state judges, arguing that the constitution that should come first is too often overlooked and that court outcomes can feel decided before a case is heard.
John Washington III, a 2028 presidential candidate, is asking a conflict-of-interest question about the courts. In his post, John Washington III noted that state judges are bound by the U.S. Constitution and that in Texas they also swear to uphold the state constitution - but, he wrote, people too often feel the constitution that should come first gets overlooked. "I'm asking why," he wrote.
John Washington III asked why people walk into court again and again and feel their constitutional rights do not get a fair look, why outcomes can feel pre-decided, and why loyalty to an office seems to matter more than loyalty to the people. "They ask for your vote, then serve their office instead of the people," John Washington III wrote. "That's not justice. That's not acceptable."
John Washington III closed on what he said the standard should be: the people deserve judges who put the constitution and the people first.
