NH Executive Council Hearing: Anne Edwards Nomination for Superior Court Judge Part 1
An Executive Council (EC) seems to be a strictly NH “thing.” It is part of the Executive Branch and approves all contracts that are brought forward to them. The EC also has the duty to approve any nominations for senior posts within the Executive put forward by the Governor as well as those for judgeships.
Flawed From the Start
The confirmation hearings begin today as the Senate is ready to question, or praise, the nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. I say question or praise because it depends on the side of the aisle the Senator sits.

A few hours ago I posted Andy Volinsky’s Apology – He Still Thinks Eddie Edwards is Unqualified, But He’s Sorry He Said So Because He Got Called Out by BLM. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks Volinsky’s “apology” was a sham. From BLM-Manchester (via WMUR):

There May be a Democrat Establishment Plan in the Works to Give Hillary the Nomination
The Democrats 2020 Presidential Nominating process has become something of a no-win scenario. The Media won’t admit it publicly, but they think Trump is a lock. The Establishment Dems don’t want Bernie but no one else has a shot. So, how about Hillary?

We don’t mean to beat this topic to death, but you need to understand how important this is to Democrats. Bernie might be poised to sweep into an early and unassailable lead.

Volinsky Lies. It Was NOT About Abortion.
This: Tyrion’s (hereinafter I shall refer to Volinsky as Tyrion in accordance with my latest nom-de-twitter for him #TyrionVolinsky) piece tells us much more about Tyrion’s qualifications to be Governor than it does about MaxDonald’s qualifications to sit on the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
