The GOP Minnesota Supreme Court candidate arrested in April 2013 on suspicion drunken driving and resisting arrest was ticketed Monday for violating the driving restrictions placed on her as she awaits trial for the incident.
The Minnesota Republican Party endorsed Michelle MacDonald’s bid for the state supreme court seat in June, and found out just days later the attorney was awaiting trial for an alleged drunken driving and resisting arrest incident.
MacDonald currently has a limited license and is only allowed to drive between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. She was given a citation Monday for violating the terms of her driving restrictions, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
“But I’m a Republican, so… rules are for, you know, other people and stuff.”
“MacDonald currently has a limited license and is only allowed to drive between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.”
In other words if she is your attorney ,she will have to talk fast.
Reason #363 why electing judges is a bad idea.
I have to applaud the Minnesota GOP on this one – they are sticking with a candidate who is representative of the party.
Judges here don’t campaign, so there aren’t ads and such. The DFL (Democratic Farmer Labor Party) our version of Democrats doesn’t endorse judges, Republicans do and this time its biting them in the butt.
