The great thing about American Society is that the system of things we live in fosters a never-ending opportunity for engaging in the democratic process. Politicians, or most of them are limited to the number of times they can hold an office, they most certainly must compete constantly to keep that office periodically. The going perception is that this is not the case for members of the legal or judicial system. As for the most part, they are appointed to the positions they hold. Today we visit with an aspiring judge in the Philadelphia, PA District. Attorney Gregory Yorgie-Girdy, who is running for Judgeship while simultaneously representing and juggling several demographic characterizations- a gay African American man, a husband and father to name a few.
