Mr. Neumayr seems never at a loss for opinion and, if necessary, will stoop to any low methods to strengthen a weak column.

I am referring to his comment: "Has it ever said to flaky judges in California...." If Mr. Neumayr is referring to the California Supreme Court, he definitely needs to do research. There are six Republican appointees to the Bench and 1 Democrat. I hopefully don't need to refresh Mr. Neumayr's memory as to the status of Justice Rogers Brown.

If the "flaky" comment refers to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, I would like to remind Mr. Neumayr that the 9th could be in any number of quite a few Western states, or in the Territory of Guam for that matter. There is nothing particularly Californian about the 9th Circuit, other than its location.

The local Appellate Courts and the Superior Courts are on a par with any other state that has liberal jurisdictions. They are kept in check by the California Supreme Court.

p>California bashing, or any other locale for that matter, is unattractive and definitely unappreciated. Whatever valid points Mr. Neumayr had in his article were lost through his obnoxious comments. br> -- Bill Blazak br> Los Angeles, California /p>
