"Do I detect a ray of light at the end of the tunnel here?"
Wow, my initial reaction is I don't know if I like this or not. I can see good arguments on both sides. Anyone have a link to the ruling yet?

What is a federal judge doing ruling on a decision about how the state selects is own Supreme Court justices?
What jurisdiction does the federal government have over this matter or is this another example of federal activism like last month when a federal court wouldn't let a state legislature decide if its own members had been legitimately elected?
