Judicial Selection Commission on Life Support

tnflag.jpgTennessee's anti-democratic Judicial Selection Commission has moved a step closer to extinction now that the state Senate has rejected a last-ditch effort to pass legislation to renew the commission's existence. Post Politics has coverage and lots of links to other posts, including this one from East Tennessee lawyer Rob Huddleston.

Once the state Senate adjourns, the commission enters a one-year wind-down phase and - unless the legislature acts next year to revive the commission - voters will regain their right, as specified in the state constitution, to elect their appellate judges starting in 2010.
