Huh? We dont know why they didn't respond. It coild be due to ethics concerns. It could also be because they dont have concerns. We may have suspicions, but we dont know. (Response rate matters if you're not constructing a representative sample.)
Now you're being ridiculous. Of course that would be misleading (Indeed, its more misleading than the alt-formulation you dont like).
"A bunch of judges told us stuff" would be less of a story (and wouldn't have led to the graphics they highlight).

My statement does not imply anything false; it implies something that it cannot establish. And they do not give full denominator of those surveyed (or what sorts of judges made up those outside relevant districts).

IMO there is a judicial crisis, but @jadler1969.bsky.social's criticism of the NY Times piece on the subject is correct: Their reporting doesn't show what they claim it shows b/c the sample of judges they interviewed was biased, for the detailed reasons he lays out.

If i survey a group I know to be unrepresentative (and I know why it's unrepresentative) and all I say is "this might not be representative but look at these striking results!" am i being misleading?
How is it more misleading than the graphics that fail to note denominator, percent not responding, or unrepresentative sample?
Did they explain why their initial sample was unrepresentative? No. They also dont provide denominator of survey, or what percentage of respondents are in active service, but still highlight graphics as if they are meaningful results.
It's mo less misleading than the way the results are framed. That's my point.
They dont, but they don't explain why we know it's unrepresentative either
Inrepresentative sample produces results that arent that probation.

Fewer than 15 percent of judges surveyed expressed concern. 🤔

I dont know much about KY Gov. Beshear, but his refusal to endorse Dem AG candidate Jay Jones when in Virgnia to help the Dem ticket suggests he is one of the few honorable people left in American politics.
Costly reminder that vandalism is not protected speech (and cleaning/repairing public art is expensive).

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
I may not have many valuable insights, but I have lots of dog photos. (Just not as many as @evanbernick.bsky.social )
