"Judges Face New Election Landscape"

The National Law Journal offers this report. It is paid subscription required, and I don't have access, but it is described as follows: "During his recent confirmation hearings, U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito invoked that sacred mantra of judicial nominees: No comment on issues that may come before him. Now imagine a world in which judges up for retention election or in contested elections or just whenever the spirit moves them, comment all of the time."
