On guard

by Susan McCreary, Stevensville

A recent letter in another newspaper titled “Grand juries will create chaos” written by Marc Racicot, articulates the hidden agenda behind HB 405. This bill proposes an amendment to become part of the Montana Constitution for ever, in which a judge allows a grand jury of citizens to “better root out corruption and support limiting the ability of the Montana Supreme Court to abuse its power to protect itself.” In short, it is a “backdoor” attempt to circumvent our Montana State legislators, who make laws within our three branch Republic Government, pushed by fear mongering groups, who are arrogant enough to “know” they can be “arresting officers, judge and jury” over the rest of us. HB 405 is being read in the Montana House Legislature now. Please contact House legislators who know enough to vote “NO” on HB 405.
