In this episode of Behind the Wire on Rebel Radio, Robert Burwell argues that Washington\u2019s courts have strayed from their constitutional role and explains why he believes changing the makeup of the State Supreme Court could provide a stronger check on Olympia.We examine judicial activism, constitutional rights, gun rights, taxation, checks and balances, and the role of the Washington State Supreme Court in reviewing the actions of state government.Burwell also discusses the Supreme Court candidates he supports in the 2026 election and makes the case for increased voter participation in Washington\u2019s judicial races.Subscribe to Rebel Radio for Washington politics, constitutional issues, Second Amendment coverage, public policy, and commentary from across the Evergreen State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#WashingtonState #WashingtonPolitics #WAPolitics #WashingtonSupremeCourt #SupremeCourt #JudicialElections #Election2026 #WashingtonElection #JudicialActivism #Constitution #ConstitutionalRights #ChecksAndBalances #SecondAmendment #GunRights #2A #OlympiaWA #WashingtonVoters #BehindTheWire #RebelRadio<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wa3percent.org\/index.php\/2026\/09\/12\/washington-supreme-court-election-2026-can-voters-reshape-the-court\/\">Washington Supreme Court Election 2026: Can Voters Reshape the Court?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wa3percent.org\/index.php\/2026\/09\/07\/weekly-intel-report-8-27-26\/\">Weekly Intel Report 8\/27\/26<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wa3percent.org\/index.php\/2026\/07\/19\/washington-intel-report-7-19\/\">Washington Intel Report 7-19 <br><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wa3percent.org\/index.php\/2026\/07\/10\/dsa-member-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-is-this-the-future-they-want\/\">DSA Member Says the Quiet Part Out Loud | Is This the Future They Want?<br><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/wa3percent.org\/index.php\/2026\/06\/30\/3-weekends-in-jail-for-running-over-girlfriend\/\">3 Weekends in Jail for Running Over Girlfriend<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington State voters face consequential Supreme Court races in the 2026 election.
