One of the silver linings to Pete Wilson's governorship was that he tended to pick a lot of good conservative judges, who remain(ed) in office long after Wilson did.
I've tried to console myself somewhat that such could be the case with Arnold, too, but if he can't muster even 50% GOP picks -- granted, it's LA county, but still, how about HALF? -- then I'll have to downsize THAT hope about him, too. (It's on a long and growing list.)
I hear ya. According to my unscientific count, only 13 of 34 LA County Superior Court judicial appointments have been Republican.
One of the things that keeps California from going over the edge is its sane Supreme Court... but not for lack of trying sometimes ;-)
Good ol' Deukmejian and Pete done pretty good in that respect. Not sure how many were appointed by who.
Not to worry, his spokeperson will be out tomorrow to let us know it was a language problem.
