Just Say NO To Robert Muller

COMMENTARY
WARREN COUNTY—Robert Muller wants to be Supreme Court justice in the Fourth Judicial District. THAT would be a disaster waiting to happen.
He wanted to be chairman of the Warren County Republican party but GOP committee people wisely said otherwise. He’s covered up time and time again for the good old boys and their families in Warren County. This is definitely one person that should not be in public office.
Now that the Republicans have wisely rejected him, he changed his party to Democrat and now he wants to be judge, starting right at the top. That’s the kind of person Muller is, egotistical and swaying whichever way he thinks is most favorable to him. Democrats should be insulted that he’s the Democratic candidate.
And, believe it or not, the Warren County Conservative Party has endorsed him. The justice system is bad enough now—Muller would further contaminate it. He’s no conservative. Values? Does he have any? http://www.northcountrygazette.org/2008/06/23/improper_mixture/
Wherever there’s controversy in Warren County, the Muller boys aren’t far behind. Don’t forget, the wannabe Supreme Court judge is the brother of Michael Muller, the clown who violates people’s rights in his role as Queensbury town justice and who has been more than once been privately sanctioned by the state judicial commission for judicial misconduct, like arraigning defendants at the sheriff’s station. These Mullers are two peas in a pod and neither one should be wearing a black dress with people’s lives and freedom in their hands.
Michael Muller has a problem with money in his courtroom, losing bail money and denying legal counsel. Don’t give Robert Muller the chance to play with people’s lives and property.
Robert Muller was the defense attorney for Robert Smith, currently a lieutenant in the Warren County Sheriff’s Office. Smith is the individual who has been convicted of driving while intoxicated in a fatal automobile accident which resulted in the death of a Brant Lake man.
Smith avoided the warranted charges of criminally negligent homicide or manslaughter. He was represented by Robert Muller, DEFINITELY one person that should not be placed on the bench. This kind of judgment and protection plan we don’t need wielding a gavel.
Although Smith’s recorded blood alcohol content was 0.19, nearly double the then threshold of 0.10, and he was found responsible for the death of his passenger, no charges of vehicular assault or criminally negligent homicide or manslaughter were ever lodged against Smith. Muller, former district attorney H. John Hendley and William Bacas, then Queensbury town justice and longtime law partner of David Krogmann, the former Glens Falls city court judge who is now Warren County Supreme Court judge, took care of that
Smith was the sheriff’s marine supervisor at the time of the Ethan Allen boating catastrophe on Lake George in October, 2005 that claimed the lives of 20 senior citizens. Incredibly, Sheriff Larry Cleveland failed to comply with Navigation Law and test Ethan Allen captain Richard Paris for alcohol and/or drug impairment.
And once again, up popped Robert Muller, trying to cover for Larry Cleveland, trying to place the blame on district attorney Kate Hogan for Larry Cleveland’s failure to chemically test Paris, instead relying on the infamous “blow me” test. Muller penned a letter to the mouthpiece and propaganda rag of Cleveland, The Post-Star, saying Hogan should have told Cleveland to administer a breath test to Paris.
Right. Like Cleveland would bow to a direct order of a woman or admit that she, not he, is the chief law enforcement officer of the county. Muller claimed that because Hogan “took no step to direct” Cleveland or to obtain a court order to compel him to administer a breath test, that Cleveland must have been “properly following our laws during this investigation”. This kind of thinking doesn’t belong on the bench and certainly not at the Supreme Court level.

Voters wisely said NO to Cleveland’s reelection bid for sheriff. Voters must reject Muller’s bid for the Supreme Court. He has absolutely no judicial experience and thinks he’s qualified for the Supreme Court. A pompous ass? Yes. Judicial quality? No.
If you’re a voter in the Fourth Judicial District, be sure to avoid the name of Robert Muller on the Democratic and Conservative lines on Nov. 4. 11-03-08
