I am thrilled to see that Justice Karmeier has been retained despite the unconscionable, unwarranted and vicious attacks by special interest groups. Now is the time for the Bar Association to begin its work again on a Merit Retention Plan for the future of the independence of our courts. This is not the first nor the last time that unwarranted attacks on Supreme Court and other Court retentions have occurred.
