Gray Davis Packs the Court
Smart move by California Governor Gray Davis.
Apparently not taking any chances, he's cranking out judicial appointments.
Davis has appointed 15 judges since July 23, the day the secretary of state announced the recall question would go to voters....There are currently 48 more vacancies on the state's 1,600-member bench, a number that is not unusually high.
Davis will likely fill them all before the Oct. 7 recall election. Most outgoing Governors do the same thing. We're glad he's doing it as opposed to his successor, should there be one. But one thing we don't buy is his spokesperson's assertion this is just coincidence.
