I'm delighted by today's selection of F. P. Kimberly McFadden as Northampton County's new President Judge - not because she's a woman - but because she's the best. Her unanimous election is a credit, not just to her, but to her remaining colleagues on the bench. These include William F. Moran (1987); Stephen G. Baratta (1998); Emil Giordano (2004); Edward G. Smith (2002); Anthony S. Beltrami (2006); and Paula A. Roscioli (2006).
A few days ago, I wondered whether the Lehigh Valley was ready for its first female PJ, but never thought it would happen. McFadden is way too apolitical. She's far more interested in writing opinions than designing courthouses. Her selection is a wonderful sign for the Northampton County bench.
