He seems to be conscientious and nice, but he is inexperienced and he just cost my client several thousands dollars in and months in delays because of it. I am involved in a case with Judge Lilley.

Yvonne Miller's decades-long tenure in the Senate could be at risk if a primary opponent springs forward. Maybe if someone had an agenda of jobs and economic development, they could defeat Yvonne Miller's hyperfocus on being an enabler for felons and putting her own self-importance ahead of filling judicial vacancies.

Ralph Northam (D-Norfolk) and John Miller (D-Newport News) who broke the loggerjam on the Lilley judgeship. Lilley was elected yesterday by the Senate by a vote of 21-2. A majority of the total membership--that is, 21 senators--is needed for election. Sens. Northam and John Miller joined all 19 Republican senators in voting for Lilley. Voting no were Sens. Yvonne Miller (D-Norfolk) and Henry Marsh (D-Richmond), the chairman of the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. The remaining 17 Democratic senators did not vote.
