A justice on the state Supreme Court in Maryland has undermined the public’s confidence in that institution by posting on his lawn leftist political ideologies. Like “Here lies the Constitution,” “RIP Freedom of Speech,” “RIP Food Aid,” “Beware Health Insurance Cuts,” “RIP Due Process” and “RIP Climate Science.” Those political agendas all have been in government, the courts and the news recently, and have divided America. Now is it Justice Peter Killough, an appointee of a Democrat governor, who is pushing the leftism in the public, a move that is raising concerns from those who note that the public expects courts, and justices, to publicly be neutral on controversial topics, regardless of their personal agendas. The fact that the global warming ideology is prominent especially raised concerns, as the court now is considering a high-stakes environmental fight. In that fight, Baltimore politicians are suing major oil companies under their claims that the corporations misled the public about the role of fossil fuels in what has been claimed to be “climate change.” An official with the court system claimed the signs “belong to Justic Killough’s wife.” “No further comments,” the official added.

Wes Moore, is taking criticism for exhibiting his left-wing political leanings through a Halloween display at his Maryland home.https://t.co/1SlIuewsQ8 — Alan – Libertarian ⚖️SaddleTramp (@thereminator101) October 31, 2025 A report at Fox explained, “In an interview with Fox News Digital, former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Gould said these signs indicate a clear bias on Killough’s part and raise serious questions about whether he should be involved in such a high-stakes climate case.” Gould said the display now has “cast a shadow over the decision.” “The public, whatever side you’re on, is inevitably going to feel distrust. If it’s a case where he has such strong political leanings, then he shouldn’t have sat on it. The problem now is … the case has already been argued. The briefs have already been submitted. It’s already been sent to the court to issue a ruling. How can you un-ring the bell now?” It’s not the first controversy to engulf Killough. In 2022 he was accused of a “catch and release” agenda to release dangerous criminals brought before him. The report said, “In one particularly egregious case, he released a 12-year-old who admitted to shooting and killing another teen, giving the perpetrator monitored probation instead of detention.” Gould explained that many judges these days “feel they have to save the world from President Trump,” so they go beyond their judicial role. “People have to believe that judges are fair; they haven’t prejudged the case. So, it is a problem.,” he said.
