An official from the Massachusetts Republican Party said yesterday that the affiliations of the nominees have no bearing on their abilities.''They all have prosecutorial experience," said Matt Wylie, the party's executive director. ''We can count on them to be law-and-order judges. Patronage has no place in hiring and appointments."
Romney has argued that political views don't matter when it comes to enforcing the law. The legal community celebrated the governor's new rules for the Judicial Nominating Commission, including a ''blind" first phase of the selection process that removes names from applications to ensure that candidates are judged on merits alone.
We are screwed if Mitt get’s in.
That is the most naive thing I have ever read. Liberal criminal judges are half the crime problem
With respect to the cop, yeah. But with respect to the judge ... that statement is idiotic when it comes to the application of judicial (and prosecutorial) discretion. Mitt has blood on his hands with this one.
