Palin & Judges

By Curt Levey

For us judge junkies, an obvious question is where Sarah Palin stands on the issue of judicial appointments. Sure, she?s a social conservative, but that only hints at the answer to the question. I?m interested to hear people?s thoughts on the question.

However, since Alaska uses the Missouri Plan, it?s hard to draw any conclusions, especially because Winfree?s appointment was uncontroversial.
