The Supreme Court Runoff Matters!

There is a runoff for the Arkansas Supreme Court Position 2 between incumbent Justice Robin Wynne and Judge Chris Carnahan. It is a non-partisan race but Justice Robin Wynne has liberal baggage.

Democrats tend to want activist judges who reinterpret the constitution and laws in a way to push the liberal agenda. On the other hand, Republicans tend to want judges who stick by the constitution and let legislators do the legislating.

Although judicial candidates can’t run as Democrats or Republicans, Justice Wynne can be easily identified with the Democrat Party, having served as a Democrat in the Arkansas House of Representatives.

A majority of voters rejected Justice Wynne in the primary but voters split between two constitutional conservatives, Judge Carnahan being one of them.

The Family Council surveys judicial candidates to help voters understand the judicial philosophy of the candidates. It is no surprise that Justice Robin Wynne did not respond.

Judge Carnahan answered the survey. He said his judicial philosophy is most like U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The U.S. President who most accurately reflects his political philosophy is Donald Trump. The political party’s platform that most closely reflects his views on public policy is the Republican Party.

Since Justice Robin Wynne did not respond to the survey and seems to not want voters to know his judicial philosophy we are providing information to help you understand his philosophy.
