Last week, I told you that Judge Robert Simpson, the Commonwealth Court Judge deciding the voter ID challenge, is a former Northampton County Judge. I even bumped into him at Nazareth's Giant (not Wegmans) last Sunday.
The Morning Call's Peter Hall and Scott Kraus have an excellent profile. They point out it's possible (though unlikely) that Simpson's ruling will be the one that matters because the Court of Final Error is split 3-3 along party lines.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
From what I've seen and read, Simpson will give a fair, unbiased opinion whether I agree with it or not.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as a registered Democrat (although I never vote a straight ticket and must be registered as something in Pennsylvania) I have no problem with ID's. I have to show them for medical care, prescriptions, credit card and so forth.
What's the problem?
Why is Wegmans so bad? Some of the generic brands are less than those of Giant. While they have some swanky things that most grocers don't have their generic food honestly is some of the best deals. You've been hanging around with the Hanover Twsp say no to everything board!
ReplyDeleteWegmans is a great store. Hanover has a Wegmans. I shop at Wegmans and Giant.
ReplyDeleteJust curious. What does that have to do with Simpson's decision?
ReplyDeleteSimpson's opinion will affect the state much more than Wegmans prices.
ReplyDeleteMy fault, Bill. I mentioned that I bumped into Judge Simpson at Giant (not Wegmans). It was an unfair shot on my part, and I was properly called on it.
