John Washington III Says Judges Must Put the Constitution and the People First
John Washington III, a 2028 presidential candidate, called it a conflict of interest when judges serve an office instead of the people, arguing that state judges are bound by the U.S. Constitution and that people too often feel their constitutional rights do not get a fair look in court.
John Washington III is raising what he calls a conflict of interest in the courts. John Washington III wrote that state judges are bound by the U.S. Constitution and, in Texas, also swear to uphold the state constitution, but he argued that the constitution that should come first too often gets overlooked.
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 that officials ask for the people's votes and then serve their office instead of the people.
John Washington III closed with a plain verdict on that pattern: "That's not justice. That's not acceptable." He said the people deserve judges who put the constitution and the people first.
