Abstract
The Supreme Court's decision in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White has understandably caused consternation among the American judiciary and legal profession. The principal concern aroused, apart from the holding itself, is whether restrictions may validly be imposed on judges and judicial candidates on forms of speech other than speeches in judicial election campaigns. Speeches by the candidates in judicial election campaigns was the issue immediately involved in White and I will have a few observations regarding that issue.
