Judge Patrick spoke to our Northwest Phila tea party members. I had read an article where she touted her “diversity” and the need for diversity on the court. So we asked her, “Is diversity as important as merit?” She answered that she would use her life experiences in her judicial decisions. Don’t know if that is her role on the Superior Court, but it turned off a lot of us..just sayin..
I'm not saying any of them are perfect but considering what we have suffered through from our state courts, I think there is progress.
What I'll say in Patrick's defense is that I think she is sincerely trying to reach out to non-black residents. I don't think she understands us that well, but I believe she is trying.
When she spoke to the Delco Patriots, I don't recall her saying anything that jarring. I can see her doing that though.
I'll probably end up voting for her & Panepinto just to fire a shot at the party leaders but my heart's not going to be broken if they lose.
