Last, but not least . . .

This, from all the way below the fold in yesterday's Commercial Appeal reporting on the upcoming session of the TN General Assembly ( "Money, economy cloud Tennessee legislature's session" -- Memphis Commercial Appeal):

"Judicial selection: The 'Tennessee Plan' for the selection of Tennessee Supreme Court justices expires July 1. Some conservative groups want to return to straight elections of the five high-court judges. At the least, Republican leaders want to change the appointment process of members of the Judicial Selection Commission, which nominates Supreme Court judges to the governor."

And the Lawyers Lobby likes things just the way they are . . . no accountability and no transparency.
