David Reid: Finding perfect magistrates

In the interest of saving our state needed money, being proactive and in having enough magistrates to handle the work in the future, I hope our thoughtful and Christian legislators will consider passing legislation that mandates screening applicants in advance for magistrate positions to exclude those against Buddhist-Protestant unions, mixed-race (including African American-Caucasian but also any other undesired racially mixed) unions, Democrat-Republican unions, urban-rural unions or any other unions these public servants may object to out of their sincerely held beliefs.

We appreciate their spending our valuable, taxpayer-supported time on this important issue. Thanks for their wise guidance.

David Reid
