Miley doesn't see that men have rights too wrote on April 24, 2008 08:40 PM: ...she just sides with the cops and firefighters. They can be women too, you know! She is going to side with the very people that endorse her. Her campaign keeps stating that she keeps Las Vegas streets safe. In divorce court??? That is confusing! Miley keeps children away from their parents for 5 years or more. Parents that have other children at home that have never had a chance to meet their siblings, parents who are good, loving, caring people. She does not need to go to another court, Miley needs to get off the bench!

Today I undertook a fairly tedious search to find the number of scholarly publications by the justices of Nevada Supreme Court. With a couple of notable exceptions, most of the justices have not published works in law journals and law reviews.



I wonder why in Jane Anne Morrison's mind, this makes Saitta unqualified for Supreme Court, but it's not an issue when it comes to the other justices?



Likewise, I searched reported cases in which the justice (as an attorney) argued on behalf of client in a case that was reported. Some of the justices have no cases, most have one or two. A couple had several.



Morrison made the completely false accusation that Saitta had no reported cases prior to becoming a judge. It's apparently not relevant to Morrison that some of the justices have the same or fewer reported cases.



It is generally not true that district court judicial opinions are published. A handful of states, New York, Iowa, and others, do publish district court judicial opinions. I am told that Nevada does not.



There is an electronic database of "trial court orders" from district court judges in Nevada. The orders are considered "non-published." Nonetheless, Saitta has as many or more entries in the database than other justices/judges.



The truth of course that "scholarly publications" are rarely published by sitting judges. And reported cases are not an accurate measuring stick of judicial competence.



THE FAR MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE IS WHY MORRISON WANTS TO IMPEACH SAITTA FOR HAVING THE SAME QUALIFICATIONS AS THE MALE JUSTICES ON THE NEVADA SUPREME COURT.



Morrison has done very serious damage to the reputation of a Nevada Supreme Court justice for no good reason whatsoever. It's really quite disgusting.

RJNeedsAnEditor wrote on December 14, 2007 06:54 PM: Dave: I like the way the accusation against Saitta keeps changing over time.

Since it's appellate cases that are reported, and there's no intermediate court of appeals in Nevada, how would a case over which Saitta presided be reported unless it was appealed to the Supreme Court?

If you're trying to argue that there aren't any Nevada Supreme Court cases reported that were appealed from her District Court, that's absurd.

Earlier in the week the accusation was that there had never been a reported case at which she had argued on behalf of an appealing party. Can you explain?

I'm sure Hillary would like that!!!

If the general public sticks together with a common goal for a level playing field (bi partisan best qualified candidate gets and keeps the job) that serves the best interest of Nevada voters and citizens ...better schools, roads, no special interests (corruption).. we might even have a state to be proud of.

Connect the dots, get rid of the bad guys, hold elected officials accountable, no mercy!!!

UNBELIEVABLE wrote on December 14, 2007 10:07 AM: Undr Covr US, you have a point. However, the potential RJNAEs make me queasy. I will try to recover.

HELL, GET YOUR SHOVELS OUT PEOPLE. There's plenty of diggin' to be done if you're up to it.

The more comments citing the SAME FINDINGS, the BETTER!!!

Individual due diligence should yield better COLLECTIVE election results...hopefully???

Hope we don't hear that they have DUMPED voter registration forms again, that a ton of DEAD PEOPLE came back to life just to vote or that the WARDS of the STATE are ALL chosing the same candidates and the handwriting on their registrations is from the same few people!

They party together on Saturday, and Monday they unbiasedly rule on their host's case.

Which one led the conga line and which one held the limbo stick?

Hey kids, checkout today's RJ story by Dorothy Huffey. Great pictures of our judges partying with a local law firm.

I wonder what happened to the usual
Cherry/Saitta picture? Looks like Walsh took her place for this one.

No voter should trust anyone to take care of their due diligence for them.

If Nevada wants change the voters need to get DEEPLY involved to understand who will be representing them based on their vote.

Others can assist voters, educate the 'general public' and encourage them to do their own research on how to connect the dots and raise public awareness...but no one should rely an anyone else's opinion or spin for whats best for themselves, their family, and the future for nevada.

We need to get the bad guys out but voters need to see for themselves what their elected officials do at the voters and tax payers expense and why this state is the way it is.

Otherwise we all deserve what we have and continously allow.
