We need to congratulate the Governor on his appointment of 3rd District Court of Appeal Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye as the next chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
She is a Republican, qualified, supports the Rule of Law and is not an activist judge.
"Cantil-Sakauye, 50, a Sacramento native who rose through the trial courts, served as deputy legislative secretary and deputy legal affairs secretary under former Gov. George Deukmejian. He plucked her from the Sacramento district attorney's office and later appointed her to the Sacramento Municipal Court.
Former Gov. Pete Wilson elevated Cantil-Sakauye to the Sacramento County Superior Court, and Schwarzenegger named her to the Court of Appeal in Sacramento.
A graduate of the UC Davis School of Law, Cantil-Sakauye was a surprise nominee who is relatively unknown outside judicial circles. She has served two years on the state Judicial Council, the policy-making arm of the courts, and if approved by voters in November, will be responsible for the state's entire court system."
This is an important decision and the Governor did the State proud.
