Former State Senator Counsels A “No” Vote On Every Judicial Retention Ballot Line

From Rob Shearer:

David Fowler of the Family Action Council of TN has circulated an email announcing his personal decision to vote “no” on the question of retaining the Tennessee Supreme Court and Appellate Court judges.

Why is he doing this? Fowler calls it a “personal declaration of independence.”

The issue is the sham process by which judges in Tennessee are selected by a screening group dominated by special interests, then appointed by the Governor (who can only choose among the three names submitted to him by the screening group), and then finally, submitted to the voters at the next general election (invariably the lower-turnout August election) for a yes-or-no retention vote.
