CHAPTER EIGHT

Attacking the Independence of the Courts

The Republican majority has a right to initiate radical reform. Everybody else has a right to sue them. That’s why Supreme Court races are critical for long-term Republican dominance. Lose the courts, lose the war. —John Davis, North Carolina Republican political consultant, 2013 report, “How the NC Republican Party Can Maintain Political Power for 114 Years”361

That reaction could be re-amending the Constitution, censure, adding positions to the court and/or impeachment. —Dallas Woodhouse, executive director, N.C. Republican Party, August 2018, announcing the likely Republican legislative response to disfavored judicial decisions362

The North Carolina judiciary is under siege as Republicans seek to rip the blindfold of impartiality from Lady Justice. —Rep. Joe John (D-Wake), elected in 2016 after serving twenty-five years as a state judge363
