Joplin judge seeking spot on Missouri Supreme Court

Daniel Scott, Joplin, a judge on the Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals, is weighing placing his name in consideration for a soon-to-be vacant Missouri Supreme Court position, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch Political Fix:

Those who might be weighing a bid include four from the Western District: Paul Spinden, James Smart, Lisa White Hardwick and Alok Ahuja; two from the Southern District: Gary Lynch and Daniel Scott; and one from the Eastern District: Kurt Odenwald.

The betting is that the Appellate Judicial Commission will give Blunt someone more to his liking this time around. Attempts to change the nonpartisan court plan failed in the legislative session that ended Friday.

I don't know where that came from, but I'm very happy on the Court of Appeals and am not looking to go anywhere else. DES

SO let me get this straight...the article says "Those who might be weighing a bid", which is obviously only that writers guess...and you turn the headline into "Joplin judge SEEKING spot on Missouri Supreme Court! No wonder we can't trust the media. You've created a story when there was no story. What a dis-service to Dan Scott. You owe him an apology.
