Ramos has every right and responsibility to see where his political opposition is coming from. In his dual role as a politition and as a court officer, however, he has an inherent conflict of interest that he must show he can keep resolved.
The comment to the San Bernardino Sun indicates that Ramos is in the little league. In the 1970&#039;s, when Orange County DA Cecil Hicks was accused of politically motivated corruption investigations, he would simply answer, &quot;we don&#039;t work like that&quot;. He let the convictions and confessions that he won speak for themselves.
Here, Ramos indicates to the voters that he can not keep his personal and political roles separate from his professional role. And when a County DA appears to be conflicted in this manner, what is supposed to happen?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The District Attorney&#8217;s office is a political office.

Isn&#039;t there enough government watchdogs already in place to review the campaign records?
It is my opinion that anyone who meets the qualifications to run for DA, should not have to answer to the incumbent, as to where his/her money came from, what they spend it on ect.
The reports filed by the PAC&#039;s and the individuals running for the office will be reviewed by the government watchdogs.  If they find anything wrong, they will begin the process and necessary steps to identify and refer the questionable cases to the most appropriate authorities charged by law with enforcement of campaign rules and laws.
Our current DA can&#039;t handle its workload now, and has no business looking into campaigning issues, unless they are referred to his office by the watchdogs already in place.
What would the courts due if any of the charged defendants from last weeks arrests demand a quick trial, and not waive their rights to a speedy trial?  Could the DA really have its ducks lined up, ready to go, or would they ask for a delay, as they would be caught with their pants down!
Just a thought!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since when was the DA placed in charge to review campaign records.</p><p>Isn&#8217;t there enough government watchdogs already in place to review the campaign records?</p><p>It is my opinion that anyone who meets the qualifications to run for DA, should not have to answer to the incumbent, as to where his/her money came from, what they spend it on ect.</p><p>The reports filed by the PAC&#8217;s and the individuals running for the office will be reviewed by the government watchdogs.

Dennis, I pledge $300 if you decide to run. Maybe more later.
Ramos, you are free to watch me and also to watch the people who are watching my back.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Mom taught me how to deal with such threats when I was in grade school.</p><p>Dennis, I pledge $300 if you decide to run.
