It is the law there, in Alaska the Judicial Council considers 6 candidates and then narrows it down to 2. These two are then submitted to the Governor where one has to be chosen. The Governor is not permitted any other choices. (Governor Murkowski tried to throw it back to the Judicial Council and he was rebuffed.)
well thats a stupid law then. they should change it.
I guess this judge would be like California and call the Constitution unconstitutional?
