Interesting debate this a.m. in TN Senate Finance, Ways & Means Committee. (here). They were debating whether to allow the bill preferred by the Lawyer's Lobby (SB1573--preserving unconstitutional, commission-based selection of judges) to advance in the Senate.
Note: great comments by Sen. Watson at 1:04 in the video. Weaselly comments by Sen. Overbey at 1:07. More great comments (though I think he's wrong about election of judges) by Sen. Watson at 1:19.
Republican Senators Jamie Woodson, Diane Black, and Mark Norris gave the Lawyers' Lobby the votes it needed to keep the bill moving in the Senate . . .
Kudos to Senators Randy McNally, Bo Watson and Tim Burchett.
