You want to tell us a little bit about that and give us some background on that before you get out of here so we can educate the public and they know what's going on.

Sure.

In 2022, when I announced for Chief Justice that I was running for Chief Justice, and I did so when the Republican Chief Justice, Maureen O'Connor, said, will you please run for chief? Now, I'm a Democrat.

And I said, wow.

And I really hadn't been planning to do that.

But out of a sense of duty, I thought I will go ahead and do that.

Within two weeks of my announcing that I was running for chief, the legislature changed the law to put party label on the ballot.

You got something you wanna say to the peoples here before we let you go?

Tell us why you're against this.

It's a question of freedom of speech.

If I, as a judge or a judicial candidate, am required to put, and I have no choice in it, the Secretary of State is required to put a party label next to any candidate running for any appellate judicial position in the state, whether it's one of the 12 judges district courts of appeals or whether it's the Ohio Supreme Court.

Untouched are those trial court judges for common pleas, municipal and county court judges.

My opinion is, so I've now become a political partisan candidate, but yet I'm governed by the rules of judicial conduct which do not let me speak out, do not let me do things with fundraising, even with endorsements having to do with my campaign.

So I'm looked at as, oh, she's a Democrat, so she must follow this and this and this plank in the Democratic platform.

Yet I'm not permitted by the rules of judicial conduct to say whether I am or I am not.

How much weight do you think should be given to stare decisis as courts might fluctuate with their ideological balances over time?
