Theoretically, our government is just us doing tinghs together. But in reality often government acts more like a them doing stuff to us than us doing tinghs together.Our state and national constitutions set limits on what government can do and how it can do it. Many laws place further limits on what government can do. Courts play a critical role in protecting us from ourselves by making sure government acts within the limits we agreed to in our constitutions and statutes.State court judges don’t get to disagree with the United States Supreme Court when it is deciding the limits of the national government’s power. State trial court judges also don’t get to disagree with decisions of the state Supreme Court and the state Court of Appeals about the limits of the state’s power.But judges do not just decide what the government can and cannot do. Judges also exercise great governmental power themselves. I am not running to be a judge because I want to be powerful. I am running to be of service, and I expect to exercise the power I am entrusted with cautiously, and to follow the maxim I grew up with: the government that governs best governs least.
