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.

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