We teach our kids to follow the rules. Jeff Roe must not have picked up on this idea.

I can’t believe I am defending Jeff Roe, but as an old reporter, I considered my job to be to get the information to the people, no matter where it came from.

I have nothing good to say, however, about his judge pool.
