Call For Constitutional Reform in PA Includes Merit Selection
On Sunday, the Centre Daily Times called for Pennsylvania lawmakers to consider a constitutional convention. the Times says that “it is time to start over. It is time to recraft the document by which we govern ourselves, a document that has changed little in more than a century and a quarter.”
Although we’re hoping there will be a stand alone amendment to address Merit Selection for the appellate courts, we’re glad to see that the Times included Merit Selection of appellate judges in its list of necessary reforms.
