I’m glad Governor Palin responded quickly and explained the circumstances surrounding her appointment of this judge. As I suspected: (1) the Press spun this to make her look bad, and (2) the judicial appointment system is rigged so that only the candidates the “juristocracy” wants are eligible for the position.
Untie her hands. In fact, break the grip of the “juristocracy” and of the “trial attorney monopoly” on the American legal system!
That is the other thing that Sarah needs to do:
actively oppose and fight to change the lawyer’s club method of selecting judicial nominees that currently prevails in Alaska.
