The Judicial Crisis League is using video content from a recent MonticelloLive post, in their attack ads on Judge Kenneth Hickson, a candidate for Arkansas Supreme Court justice.

So much for the folks that “judge the judges”, using good judgment.

Caldwell is shown here visiting with one of several residents who attended a local meeting, recently.

To learn more about Caldwell’s platform, watch the video of his tea party presentation, last week.

He is seeking the position currently held by Bruce Westerman  in Congress.
