Connecticut's General Assembly yesterday, Sept. 26, confirmed with an overwhelming bipartisan vote John Durham's longtime colleague Nora Dannehy to the state's Supreme Court after her belated admission this month that Durham and fellow Trump appointee William Barr had been planning to issue an improper "interim report" before the 2020 election that would have smeared Democrats in forthcoming Durham prosecutions that juries would later rule as unfounded.

That news report is below. First, I'd like to share my view that the Dannehy confirmation process was woefully short of what all of us in the public should expect from legislators, prosecutors and judges and why I greatly appreciate the opportunity from OpEdNews to share my research when the vast bulk of the media is providing merely superficial coverage.

The gist: The legislators' belated and superficial questioning of the nominee should have delved much more deeply into a prosecution that could have had historic consequences. They should have assessed more deeply the patterns in the nominee's career that made her so reticent in that and similar situations (including the frame-up of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, among others) to vindicate defendants' due process rights -- and the right of the public to know what's going on behind the closed doors of the justice system at its highest and most consequential levels. These inquiries inevitably would have shed light, in the unique opportunity of a confirmation hearing, into the machinations of Trump's former Attorney General Barr, among others.

Ned Lamont's nominee, Nora Dannehy, for the Connecticut Supreme Court on Tuesday. The Senate approved the appointment of Dannehy with a 31-2 vote, followed by a 120-18 tally in the House. "I have no doubt that she has the moral compass as well as the intellectual gravitas and wealth of knowledge and, actually, moderate hand on the till to make fair and even handed decisions," said Sen. John Kissel, R-Enfield, ranking member on the Judiciary Committee.
