On January 31, the U.S. Supreme Court set an oral argument date for Carney v Adams, 19-309. This is the case over the Delaware law that says the only people who can be appointed to most judicial posts are members of a party that has registration of at least 5%. The date will be March 25, Wednesday.
How many states have non-partisan election of judges is certain to play a key factor in this decision. West Virginia does, but only within the past four years.
