But the mayor appoints the advisory committee. I appreciate the fact that these are low level positions that aren't making precedent setting decisions. And a Republican jurist in NYC may not look like one from SC. Still, 50 Dems of 56 does say something about Rudy's judicial leanings.
Actually, as of 2002-present, the mayor only appoints a minority of the advisory committee (9 of 19). Do you have information indicating that, during Giuliani's day, the mayor appointed all (or even most) of the committee?
