Bob Mabry completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mabry's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The Ninth Court of Appeals generally sits in panels of three. The other three justices all belong to the same political party. Two of them come from a remarkably similar practice background. To replace Justice Kreger with yet another member of the same party is a waste. I am the candidate who has been a public defender. I am the candidate whose previous work required supervising and training appellate lawyers. The Ninth Court of Appeals must decide all cases brought before it. But generally, the Texas Supreme Court doesn’t have to hear the cases that it doesn’t want to. The same for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. A range of views on a court of appeals is a help to those courts- helps them to know which cases they ought to take up and
- Trial courts in the Ninth Supreme Judicial District generally do admirable work. They work hard to dispose of cases quickly. To call for changes is like criticizing a delicious cake because of the color of its frosting. Nonetheless, white or brown is a better color for a cake than blood-red. Juries will not be proper unless judges follow the law and do not immediately stop examination of panelists who state that they are prejudiced. Juries cannot properly find facts in a case if the jury charge is not an accurate expression of the law, and the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution does not protect citizens’ liberty as it should if it is not enforced with firmness.
- The Supreme Court of the United States must get the U.S. Constitution right. Throughout history, some of its rulings have been the pride of the nation. Others have been loathsomely vicious. A court like the Ninth Court of Appeals must follow the rulings of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Texas Supreme Court, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. It must follow or expressly overrule its own past rulings. But good judges do a little bit more. In the extremely rare circumstances when they must answer a question that’s never been asked before, they should promote prosperity and liberty.
