The only way good government functions effectively is through general agreement among the governed as to what constitutes fair play. Bad faith manipulation or attempted manipulation in order to gain unfair advantage obviously undermines the whole concept of fair play and, hence, good government as well. This particular case in our state oozes bad faith on its face, and no law degree is necessary to see it. Nonetheless, Judge Myers is owed gratitude for publicly calling it out for what is. Those who would seek to perpetuate such bad faith as this, if anything, confirm their unworthiness of a seat on the NC Supreme Court.
