Judicial Selection Bill Clears Senate and House | Humphrey on the Hill | knoxnews.com:

The Senate voted 27-5 Thursday to set up a revised system for selecting the state's top judges. The House approved the same bill a few hours later on a 58-38 vote.

In both chambers, debate was long and sometimes testy.

The House added one amendment to the Senate version, meaning the bill must now return to the Senate next week for concurrence.

Rep. Joe McCord, R-Maryville, the House sponsor, said he believes the Senate [will?] go along with the change. If so, SB1573 will go to Gov. Phil Bredesen, who has indicated support for the proposal.

(emphasis mine). Or how about not? McCord and other Republicans would be wise to say "no" to the Lawyer's Lobby on this one.
