"INDIANAPOLIS -
Gov. Mike Pence will be making his first appointment to Indiana's highest court sometime this spring.
Indiana's
Judicial Nominating Commission sent the Republican governor a letter
March 11 with the names of three finalists to replace Justice Brent
Dickson, who retires from the high court April 29 before he reaches the
mandatory retirement age of 75.
Pence must name one of those
three to the five-member court within 60 days of receiving the letter.
Spokesman Matt Lloyd says "the governor has no timeline for making his
selection" other than within that timeframe.
The finalists
are St. Joseph Superior Judge Steven L. Hostetler, Boone Superior Judge
Matthew C. Kincaid and Indianapolis attorney Geoffrey G. Slaughter.

Governor Pence since you fellow party members are demanding the President can't name a new Supreme Court Judge you should follow that same demand and not appoint someone to the states highest court but allow the next elected Governor to appoint the Judge.
