I don't think that we need to consider anything
other than who is best able to determine on which days and
in wliat way a three man panel could be used. It seems
clear to me that the court itself is in the best position
to make that judgment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does any other delegate desire
to speak in favor?
UELLGATI: GLLASON: Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: Mr. Chairman, I would hope
that the delegates would start getting a little concerned
with the concentration of power in the judiciary, and I
urge upon them a careful consideration of this amendment.
I don't think that any of these provisions in
this article can be taken by itself, and we have to conside
where this article fits in the overall context of the
Committee's recommendations. One of their recommendations,
of course, is that these judges shall sit for ten years, th
will be no political opposition and contest, there will be
a screening process. To that extent we have kind of
removed the political check of these appointments.
