The opinion
Chief Justice KETCHUM,
concurring:
I realize that my vote in this case effectively eliminates any chance of my being reelected to our Supreme Court. Nevertheless, I took an oath to impartially apply our laws and I promised .to set political favoritism aside. The statute in this case is clear. The appointment by the Governor is to be made from a list of persons submitted by the executive committee “of the party with which the person holding the office immediately preceding the vacancy was affiliated.” Senator Hall was a registered Republican when he vacated the office. So be it!
Therefore, I concur.
