Pennsylvania's Supreme Court is about to decided a case in which each justice has a personal financial interest. The question is whether judges should be required to step down at age 70, as demanded by the Pennsylvania Constitution. A group of judges, some say at the urging of the high court itself, have filed suit. Under the "doctrine of necessity," the Supreme Court can still hear the case because there is nowhere else to go.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's John Baer suggests that the only thing that is necessary is for the case to be dismissed.

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.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your website accidentally, and I'm stunned why this twist of fate did not happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
