Trusty Democrat Operative David Wiggins To Find Branstad Some More Liberal Justices

According to the Des Moines Register, Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins is going to be the chairman of the 15 member "non-partisan" commission (The Register's words, not mine) which will search for three new potential justices for the court.

Grant Schulte, the "reporter" for the Register who wrote the story, takes 12 paragraphs to mention this enormous conflict of interest:

Wiggins, a registered Democrat, was active in party politics before he took the bench. He donated at least $6,800 to Vilsack's first campaign for governor in 1998, and has given thousands of dollars to the party and its candidates. In 2002, he was an investigator and attorney for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin in a high-profile incident in which a junior staffer conspired with a former Harkin aide to record a meeting of Harkin's opponent, Greg Ganske.

Wait a second! The commission is supposed to be "non-partisan", so how come some trusty Democrat operative is leading the charge?

That's because "reporter" Grant Schulte is propagandist.  He's a shill for the Hard Left.

Look at Schulte's story back in November on this issue.  19 paragraphs into the story he truthfully mentions that the board doesn't have to be balanced with Democrats and Republicans, but then fails to point out that the current commission contains 86% Democrats.

Schulte, you're an ass.  You're a fraud.  You're a disgrace.  12 paragraphs down in today's story to point out the conflict of interest while fraudulently saying the commission is non-partisan?

At least it wasn't Brent Appel, who also bought his Supreme Court seat from the Democrats and Vilsack, and whose now-fat wife Staci lost in a landslide in the recent State Senate election after spending this state into the poor house.
