Book Description

Excerpt from Election and Recall of Federal Judges: Speech of Hon. Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, in the Senate of the United States, Monday, July 31, 1911 It will be contended by some that the recall of judges might safely be left to the National Legislature or to the State legislatures but should not be left to the electorate, because the electorate would not be so conservative in the exercise of the power to recall a judge as their representatives in the legislature. The answer to this is that the electorate of an American State and of any of the American States is abundantly conservative and moves very slowly, more slowly than their progressive representatives would move.
