[nfbmi-talk] court of claims judgesnamed

[Terry D. Eagle]

Now, Mr.Egan, now that you have written the Snyder spin, do your homework,
and tell us the truth about how these judges have ruled on the variety of
case types during their tenure as appeals court judges!  Then, we the
citizen can decide for ourselves, their alleged impartiality, or not!
Certainly they, as the Supreme Court spun, have a well-established track
record of deciding cases, to allow us to decide their leanings.

By the way, with four judges, do you not think decisions will be strictly
decided on party lines?  I thought JUSTICE was blind?

Court of Claims judges named by Supreme Court By Paul Egan Detroit Free
Press Lansing Bureau The Michigan Supreme Court today named the four
Michigan Court

of Appeals judges who will serve on the revamped Court of Claims, in an
announcement that stressed their trial experience. Two of the judges
selected were

appointed to the Court of Appeals by former Republican Gov. John Engler and
two by former Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm. Appeals Court Judges Pat
Donofrio,

Amy Ronayne Krause, Deborah Servitto, and Michael Talbot will serve on the
court that will hear lawsuits against the state, Chief Justice Robert Young,

Jr. said in a news release. The Supreme Court was unanimous in choosing the
judges for "their outstanding legal ability, including their diverse
experiences

as former trial judges managing trial dockets. One of the criticisms of the
Court of Claims law, signed by Gov. Rick Snyder with immediate effect on
Tuesday,

is that the Court of Appeals is not well equipped to serve as a trial court.
Another criticism was that it replaced the Ingham County Circuit Court,
which

leans Democratic, with a panel likely to be overtly Republican. But the
Supreme Court chose judges appointed by governors of both political stripes.
Donofrio,

a former Macomb County Circuit Court judge, was appointed to the Court of
Appeals by Engler in 2002. Krause, who was a district court judge in
Lansing,

was appointed to the Court of Appeals in 2010 by Granholm. Servitto, a
former Macomb County Circuit Court judge, was appointed to the Court of
Appeals

in 2006 by Granholm. Talbot, a former Wayne County Circuit Court judge, was
appointed to the Court of Appeals by Engler in 1998.
