FOR JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT (Theis)
EVELYN B. CLAY (D) NOT RECOMMENDED
When you can't even get past the bar recommendation committee, yer stoopid enough to get outsmarted by plants.
She is an idiot, but keep in mind those bar recomendations are generally crony endorsements. He opponent must have been pals with the committee. (even served on the committee as a stepping stone.) Bar politics are very incestuous.
That said, this points out she is more politician than legally knowledgable. IOW politics first, law last.
