- Comment on How the G.O.P. Molded the Arizona Court That Upheld the Abortion Ban 2 months ago:
Arizona is one of roughly 20 states where judges must face the voters to keep their jobs.
Under the system, voters must decide to retain or reject judges two years after their appointments, and every six years after that. Of 1,500 judges who have gone through the process since the mid-1970s, only six have lost — and three of those losses occurred in 2022.
No Supreme Court justice has lost, but Justice Montgomery came close, in 2022, garnering 55 percent of the vote. Republican legislators, who control the statehouse, are now considering a proposal to make it more difficult to remove Supreme Court justices except in extraordinary circumstances.
The two members of the court who face retention elections this year are Justice Bolick and Justice King.
Given the likelihood that Arizona voters will already be weighing a ballot initiative to enshrine the right to an abortion in the Constitution, those judicial races may well attract more attention than usual, said Paul Weich, a lawyer who writes the newsletter Arizona’s Law. “I would anticipate that the abortion access initiative coalition is going to be urging people to not only vote for the initiative but to vote for no on retention for those two justices.”
Damn skippy I plan to.
- Comment on O.J. Simpson, Athlete Whose Trial Riveted the Nation, Dies at 76 2 months ago:
Yeah, I was young when it happened preteen or early teen. That’s what i kept wondering as it progressed and he was found innocent. OK, so who we looking to next? No one. Even if you took time to seek out news about it (I was in Indiana and internet was not as today, so that may have been part of it). Most of what you could find about anything after, was about the following Civil trial, not further suspects.

The yellow lined area is not a parking space. The space is left open for ramps on vehicles that need an extra side space to get in and out of and extend the ramp.

Those are all really neat this year. My dad used to have all the OG lighted ships from Hallmark. I always hoped I’d get them but they went to a boy cousin. Maybe this is where I now start my own collection.
