I just saw this on the morning post on the MAINblog and about choked on my coffee.

It seems Phyllis Schlafly has taken an interest in seeing judges elected in Johnson County Kansas vs. having them appointed in a non-partisan process that costs tax payers little to nothing.

"Voters in Johnson County, Kan. will have a proposition on the November ballot that could send shock waves through the tenure of state court judges.

I completed jury duty today. It was interesting to watch how the ordinary wheels of justice turn - while the specialized wheels for Libby were turning in Wash, D.C. If Justice had suddenly taken off her blindfold in our nation's capitol and peeked at the answer key for the correct result, was that happening in the rest of the country - in my own little county courthouse? And why do I feel like it doesn't matter anyway?
