Losing Corrigan, Young, Markman, or Taylor would be far far worse.
One less R.I.N.O.
At least you guys have Republican Justices. Here in TN, it is "fixed" so that the leftist trial lawyers are the sole "judges" of judicial nominees. If a Republican Governor were to refuse to pick from their atrocious finalists, the trial lawyers are then empowered to choose for the Governor and seat them on the Supreme Court (and as a nice little bonus, the Supreme Court, in turn, gets to select the State Attorney General, who is always a liberal 'Rat hack ready to interpret the law to however the trial lawyers/'Rat party tells them to). It ain't even that bad in New Jersey.
