Justice Tarnow, an oxymoron
Reader, Norm Hozak, of Midland, Michigan, comments today in the Bay City Times on
the MCRI balot issue decision by Federal U.S. District Judge Arthur Tarnow last week. Any one of you who does not think that judicial appointments are most president's greatest legacy need only to ponder what group of political hacks gave birth to Arthue Tarnow and Anna Diggs Taylor. Jimmy Carter apparently did not grow beyond politics during his presidency.

After nearly two weeks of deliberation, U.S. District Judge Arthur Tarnow grudgingly ruled that the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI) should be allowed on the November ballot. This ruling reinforces the decisions of every legal authority for the state of Michigan.
After arriving at the only reasonable conclusion, Judge Tarnow could not resist injecting his personal bias. Most distressing was Tarnow's conclusion that fraud was committed when no such proof was established. Tarnow's commentary was nothing more than campaigning from the bench, and the citizens of Michigan should be outraged that a federal judge is so willing to abuse his power.
Tarnow's accusation that ''MCRI targeted all Michigan voters for deception'' is ludicrous. I personally spent many unpaid hours readily collecting signatures on MCRI petitions in 14 Michigan counties. I found that all people easily understood the proposal and were interested in signing based on their personal experience with discrimination in public college admissions or employment.
Hopefully, our democratic form of government will survive the deception and thug tactics of the MCRI opposition. Then the residents of Michigan can take action to help eliminate discrimination by voting ''Yes'' on the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (Proposal 2) on Nov. 7.
