Default PA Supreme Court Judge?


WTF is happening in PA?

From blogger Gort42, on the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court race:

The Democratic nominee for the one open seat is Jack Panella from
Northampton County who presently serves on the Superior Court and was
on the Court of Judicial Discipline that dropped the ball over the
allegations about Luzerne County criminals Conahan and Ciavarella .
They were busy with the Lokuta witchhunt orchestrated by Conahan.


His opponent is Joan Orie Melvin from Pittsburgh who also serves on
the Superior Court. Her website tells us that she has been a lifelong
Republican. Her faith is the cornerstone of her life. She comes from a
family of nine children raised with the principles of God and Country.
Her sister is State Senator Jane Orie who helped her get the
endorsement of the Pennsylvania Teamsters that didn't turn out so
well. The Pennsylvania Progressive has the details.


Melvin was in town last month and said of the Juvie Brothers scandal
"This is surreal. It is right out of a Charles Dickens novel."


In her previous visit to Wilkes-Barre in May she gave a long rambling
speech to the local GOP faithful. In that speech she listed as one of
her selling points was the upcoming redistricting after the 2010
Census telling the partisan crowd that they needed a Republican on the
court to rule in favor of Republicans in any challenges to whatever
plan emerges.

So much for Judges being above politics.

That woman is a piece of work. What makes her think she can make
public statements about controlling redistricting through judges?

How the hell did she get on the bench in the first place? I know
judges are human but this woman exhibits a complete lack of
discretion.

Sounds like the latest appointment to the US Supreme Court. Same biased
statements.

That's an example of your lack of discernment, not Sotomayor's lack of
discretion.
