Wheat to Montana Supreme Court

by: Jay Stevens

Sat Dec 26, 2009 at 12:45:11 PM MST


I'm still catching up on the news over the holidays, and I just saw this news:

Gov. Brian Schweitzer is picking a Bozeman lawyer and former state senator to fill a vacancy on the Montana Supreme Court.

Schweitzer announced the selection of Mike Wheat on Wednesday. Current Supreme Court Justice John Warner is retiring at the end of the year.

Wheat is an excellent choice for the position. During the state attorney general's race, I got a chance to sit down with Mike for nearly an hour and pick his brain, and I found an incredibly principled lawyer deeply committed to the law and to the state of Montana.

Wheat was George Ochenski's pick for attorney general, and you can read his thoughts on Mike's candidacy and stance on the death penalty in a pre-primary election column.

Congratulations, Mike.

I am very happy with Mike's selection!! (0.00 / 0)
I moderated a radio debate for attorney general and was very very impressed with Mike's demeanor and his personal story.  At the time I thought he was actually too good to be a politician.  I was right.  He should be a judge.
