Jeff Schapiro writes a fascinating (although I think Gov. McAuliffe would be foolish to take this advice) article: On Wednesday night, Gov. Terry McAuliffe will have what may be his last chance to stop Republicans from dumping Jane Marum Roush from the Virginia Supreme Court. It would be high stakes and high drama. *** It […]

Senator Chap Petersen of Fairfax has introduced a budget amendment (here it is!) to reestablish an Appellate Defender’s Office in this Commonwealth.
