John Washington III Says Judges Must Put the Constitution and the People First
John Washington III raised a conflict-of-interest question about state judges, saying they are bound by the U.S. Constitution and asking why people so often feel their constitutional rights do not get a fair look in court.
John Washington III, a 2028 presidential candidate, raised what he called a conflict of interest in the courts, writing that state judges are bound by the U.S. Constitution and, in Texas, also swear to uphold the state constitution. John Washington III said too often people feel the constitution that should come first gets overlooked, and he said he is asking why.
John Washington III asked why people walk into court again and again and feel their constitutional rights do not get a fair look, why outcomes can feel pre-decided, and why loyalty to an office seems to matter more than loyalty to the people. He wrote, in his words, that officials ask for the people's vote and then serve their office instead of the people.
John Washington III concluded that arrangement is, in his words, not justice and not acceptable, and said the people deserve judges who put the constitution and the people first. The statement was made in a public post; no court, case or judge was named in it.
