Time to talk about the elections

6. No question that Natalie Hudson is the choice for the Supreme Court

McDonald is a nut case Republican who even they tried to run away from the first time she ran.

Personally, I think Belleille comments have a dog whistle sound to them which I find doubly suspect as he is running against a Latina. And, Lamas was appointed by Dayton so I'll take that as a plus.

Scoggin was also appointed by Dayton. I couldn't find much about Scoggin's judicial record though it is interesting that he was the prosecutor in a case where Ritts was the defense attorney.

Though as criminal cases go, this is kind of minor and I doubt if anyone has an ax to grind over it. From what I read about Ritts, it sounds like he has a lot of personal injury and family law experience as well as some criminal law. I think I'll stick with Scoggin - apparently he hasn't done anything outrageous and he is qualified for the job.
