Of the six former Chief Justices who want Gov. to retain untrammeled control of judicial vacancy appointments, all received such appointments: Billings (1985, 1986), Frye (1983, 1999), Lake (1985, 1992), Mitchell (1977, 1982, 1994), Exum (1967), Parker (1984, 2006).

All six of them, both Democrats and Republicans, were damn good Justices and Chief Justices.
Have not said otherwise. Have high regard for them. But their favor for the status quo is understandable. Courtiers, many of them very good, generally defended the monarchy.

So you are equating the democratically elected Governor of North Carolina with a monarch? Also, do you believe the separation of powers is a principle worth protecting and, if not, why not?

Hi Hampton. I believe that the separation of powers should be preserved as structured in our state constitution as written, or as amended by the people, not via decrees of justices according to their policy preferences. That's foundational to representative democracy.

Wait. So the current process (in existence for 150 years) has in the last three decades produced six remarkable Chief Justices. Sounds worth keeping.

To acknowledge that some good resulted from 150 years of iron-fisted, one-party rule is no argument for preserving its mechanisms. Of all the methods in use for picking judges, NONE commend leaving it to one person's whim. The Bev Purdue experience is all the evidence needed.
