A Reminder That Judges Too are the Government Where Defendants Are Concerned

"Federal judge is handpicked in Morales case". "Federal judge is handpicked in Morales case": Today's edition of The San Antonio Express-News contains an article that begins:A judge who once clashed bitterly with Dan Morales deviated from standard courthouse procedure by handpicking the judge who will oversee the criminal case against the former state attorney general. [How Appealing]

There is, of course, reason behind a system of random allotments . . .  avoiding an appearance of impropriety, which unfortunately has not been avoided in the Morales case.
