A Big Red Flag

tnflag.jpgThe American Courthouse blog has a good look at the politics that infests Tennessee's supposedly non-political Judicial Selection process, and how a lawyer-dominated state House subcommittee killed even a modest proposal to make the Judicial Selection Commission meetings open to the public rather than the current process of secret meetings. Writes Dan Pero: "When lawyers desperately fight to protect other lawyers from the scrutiny of ordinary citizens, that’s a big red flag."

More here and a round-up of past AH posts on Tennessee's judicial selection process here.
