1. their "argument" was - These judges are going to take away your guns and property rights
Somehow they spun the pro-equality ruling as "taking away our rights", and that these judges had their sites on confiscating guns and private property.

It is pretty bizarre stuff.

5. We have no business voting on judge retention anyway
I have no way, nor time, or frankly, inclination to research decisions to determine if a judge is fair or not.
