Retiring 5th District Court of Appeal Judge Richard Orfinger said that judges did their jobs in the wake of the national election as outgoing President Donald Trump and his supporters challenged the results showing that Joseph Biden had won.
“Recent experiences have shown us that democracy is fragile,” Orfinger wrote in an email to The News-Journal. “Judges across the country, both those appointed or elected by Republican or Democratic administrations, demonstrated fidelity to the rule of law when they considered the numerous lawsuits brought after the election and did their jobs. They asked simply what law and more importantly, what evidence, supports the allegations. And they acted as important guardrails protecting our democratic institutions.”
