    CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SIXTH SUBCIRCUIT TOMORROW. ESPECIALLY THE COOKE VACANCY WHERE ALL 3 CANDIDATES ARE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED.

      It will be interesting. Can the chevere slate pull off a sweep? Highly doubtful given the negative bar ratings for 2 of the 3 candidates. It will say a lot about her ability to pick qualified candidates.

    @ 10:05 AM - Agreed. Two of the candidates in that race are spending a ton of their own money trying to win a vacancy that really should not even exist. Funny how these two candidates (and all the candidates for that matter) would kill their own mothers to land a job that someone else did not even value and could not run away fast enough from.

    Trib missed a layup in McGinnis vacancy race. Brad Trowbridge was only candidate with all positive bar ratings and no misconduct claims. Yet the paper that brought you the Gary Johnson endorsement for President missed this, too. Get out of the business of endorsing.
