Merit selection of judges faces opposition in Illinois
Illinois lawmakers push again for merit selection of state court judges to replace elections. The amendment would remove elections if approved by three fifths in both chambers and, if passed, be subject to a 1982 voter referendum. Senate President Philip Rock opposes the plan, clashing with advocate Sen. Dawn Clark Netsch. Nominees would be screened by a nominating commission and sent as three names to the governor for appointment.
