JUDGEMENT DAY
POLITICAL COURAGE LACKING
MY
PREDICTION
Quite a few people are predicting that Judge James Robertson will step aside and not continue to move forward in his legislative confirmation process. WRONG! I believe the governor is loving this. He doesn't want Robertson to walk away, he wants, say I, to put lawmakers on the political hot seat to vote the judge up or down. Lawmakers on the other hand would prefer for Robertson to walk away on his own. But just as the governor has resisted all calls for him to resign, you can bet Robertson, at the direction of Rowland, will not, I repeat will not drop out. And if, again this is my prediction, if the Robertson confirmation is eventually voted on and he is approved, I don't see how there is anyway Rowland gets impeached. Loophole or not, if legislators can't say no to a man that provided a hundred thousand dollars in free legal services to the guv , his law firm gets 6 million in state work and then the guv appoints him to a judgeship, then I believe making a legitimate case to REMOVE the governor from office will be politically impossible.
