Chase T. Rogers will be confirmed by the General Assembly as chief justice of Connecticut’s Supreme Court, but it won’t be because she was so impressive at the Judiciary Committee’s recent hearing on her nomination. To the contrary, Rogers, an Appellate Court judge, was so calculatingly vacuous that an ordinary citizen might have wondered how she was rising to the top.
At her hearing, Rogers declined to answer many questions of law because, she said, they might arise in future cases before the Supreme Court and she didn’t want to prejudice her consideration of them. While almost every judicial nominee in the country strikes this pose, it is cynical and dishonest nonsense.
