Appellate Judges Swamped In Democratic Vote Surge
Republican Supreme Court Justice Anthony J. Carpinello yesterday blamed a Democratic run on the polls not seen in more than four decades for his Election Day defeat and the impending loss of the Appellate Division, Third Department, seat he has held since 1996. Justice Carpinello was one of three Appellate Division justices, all Republicans, who lost their Supreme Court seats on Tuesday when New York voters overwhelmingly backed Democratic President-Elect Barack Obama and gave Democrats a majority in the state Senate for the first time in 43 years.

Lifson, who was named to that bench in 2004.Don't Bury Me Cause I'm Not Dead Yet
