DELEGATE CARSON: Mr. Chairman and ladies and

10

gentlemen:

11

This amendment is largely in the nature of a house

12

keeping one, although it does technically create a substan-

13

tive change.

14

The language previously in this section and

15

still in this section speaks of legislative or executive

16

investigations, and therefore by its exact terms excludes

17

any possible judicial investigations.

18

Now, in the Constitution we have mentioned two

19

possible judicial investigations which would not be

20

courtroom proceedings, and they would be the Commission

21

on Judicial Disabilities and your Nominating Commissions.
