I wouldn’t even need to see Smith’s credentials, his pic makes him look like a Socialist hippy. Governors should be able to appoint whomever they wish to the bench as long as they’re qualified to serve. The Missouri plan puts a gun to a Governor’s head and places the real power in the hands of an elite corps of liberal trial lawyers and keeps the courts left-leaning. We have modified Missouri in TN and it is unconstitutional under our state law that requires judges be selected by the people. It was implemented to insure the Supreme Court remained left-wing Democrat.
Wisdom. Leftists are traitors we now see.
