moment familiar with exactly what they did, but in
|
|
2
|
essence, they had to get --
|
|
3
|
MR. MARTINEAU: My understanding of the
|
|
4
|
arrangement was, in order to obtain the support of the
|
|
5
|
political parties to back these men, that the Governor
|
|
6
|
had appointed, he had to promise not to use this
|
|
7
|
advisory commission on future judicial appointments.
|
|
8
|
That is my understanding of it.
|
|

|
MR. WINTERS: I do not believe that back-
|
|
10
|
fired. He may have done it.
|
|
11
|
MR. MARTINEAU: Isn't it true he no longer
|
|
12
|
uses the advisory commission to make his judicial
|
|
13
|
appointments and the political party supported the ap-
|
|
14
|
pointees for election to office?
|
|
15
|
MR. WINTERS: They did support these appointee
|
|
16
|
and I do not believe he has used the commission again.
|
|
17
|
I am not aware that he has pledged himself to then.
|
|
18
|
That may not be.
|
|
19
|
MRS. BOTHE: What about the middle possibility
|
|
20
|
of having legislation which would accomplish the purpose,
|
|
21
|
but not have constitutional provision?
