GOP State Committee Wants Giordano For Pa Super Court

Judge Giordanis 11' tall. His son Caden is 16'. 
Over the weekend, the state GOP committee caucused in Pittsburgh and decided they would like NorCo's very own Judge Emil Giordano to run for Superior Court. The state bar association is expected to give him its "highly recommended" rating, too. That's the highest he can achieve.

That's nice, but the reason Giordano stands out is because he's a man of compassion. When his parents first came to this country, they were unable to speak a word of English. They worked hard, and so did he. He learned to listen. I heard him once say that standing behind a counter and serving up hoagies for lunch customers was probably the best training he received to be a judge.

When I see Judge Giordano out and about, especially at sporting events, everyone calls him Emil. Very few even know he's a judge. They know he's Caden's dad. His relaxed and down-to-earth style is no act, and he was one of my grandson's first basketball coaches.

This summer, he perspired with everyone else at the Cedar Beach basketball tournaments. He was there for the games during the week, too.

The only downside I see to this is that we would lose him.

  1. As with Panella before him, I agree: "The only downside I see to this is that we would lose him."

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.
