Please publish a transcript of the Bentley Price meeting FITS recorded. A follow up story on his current legal practice would be interesting. I bet he tells people he “retired” from the bench even though he was found not qualified as reported.
Several points deserve repeating here even though I have been writing them for years to no avail:
First, SC’s JMSC is NOT composed entirely of lawyer legislators. Of the ten, only 6 are legislators, the other 4 are from the community, including Pete Strom, a lawyer non-legislator, Andrew Saffran, a lawyer non-legislator, Lucy Gray, a lawyer non-legislator, and Ms. McGyver, a non-lawyer non-legislator.
Next, the real power behind the throne are the so-called “citizens’ committees” which are composed of lawyers non-legislator who serve for indefinite terms and without any supervision or professional input. They ended up giving clean bills of health to candidates known (or could have been known) to be suffering terminal cancer and who died in office within a year or two of election or re-election.
More points shall, God willing and FITS permitting, be added.
