There is plenty of blame to go around for the unsuccessful nomination of Sandra Slack Glover to serve as a justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court. After picking the wrong nominee at this time, Gov. Ned Lamont left her flailing in the political winds. The General Assembly’s Judiciary Committee harped on a secondary matter, rather than other more potent and deserving areas of analysis. And the nominee herself ran away from her record rather than defend her own (innocuous) choice.

To review (for those who didn’t pay attention or have tried to forget): In late April, after months of deliberations, the governor nominated Glover to replace now–Second Circuit Judge Maria Kahn on our state Supreme Court. A career public servant and appellate specialist, Glover has much to her credit, including a long and distinguished tenure in the U.S. Attorney’s Office. She is widely (and rightly) regarded as kind, professional, collegial and whip-smart — not least because she clerked on the U.S. Supreme Court during its October 1998 term.
