I’ve been watching and waiting for the liberal, irresponsible media to write something, anything, about the blocking of Republican Commonwealth’s Attorney Kim White from a judgeship, mostly by liberal Sen. Don McEachin.
It happened on the same day that the House rejected a nomination by a gay activist to be a judge.
The gay activist, who gave money to Del. Manoli Loupassi and Sen. Don McEachin, was very vocally supported by both.
Google Tracy Thorne-Begland and you’ll still see stories all over the Commonwealth and the country about how he didn’t become a judge, but might still be appointed, and so on, and so on, and so on.
Hardly a peep about Kim White, who was certified by the Senate Courts of Justice Committee but whose name was removed by Senate Democrats before the vote was taken.
Have you read that in your newspaper?
It happened the same day the gay activist didn’t become a judge. You have to find the Mecklenburg Sun to find a story about Democrats blocking a Republican from a judgeship.
This time, the Senate Courts of Justice committee certified White as qualified for the Circuit judgeship, but it made no difference as the appointment process unfolded Tuesday. (Sun)
That’s it. No outcry. No namecalling. No editorials blasting away about a qualified candidate being blocked from a judgeship.
She isn’t gay.
Even today, the Virginian-Pilot spends an entire editorial still opining that Tracy Thorne-Begland can be appointed to “right a wrong.”
Meanwhile, a circuit judgeship in the 10th is still vacant, but the Pilot doesn’t care. A recommended judge was blocked by Democrats. The Virginian-Pilot, the Washington Post, the Daily Press and the Richmond Times-Dispatch doesn’t care.
She isn’t gay.
I’m frustrated that it’s up to me and the Mecklenburg Sun to shine a sliver of light on this story.
Thorne-Begland wasn’t the only judicial candidate to be rejected late Monday night. But you’d never know it from the press. You’d never know it from TV news.
Kim White was blocked from a Circuit Court judgeship by Senate Democrats led by Sen. McEachin the same day that Tracy Thorne-Begland was rejected by Republicans.
One gets a thousand stories in every news outlet in Virginia.
At least Kim White gets Bearing Drift.
