Another State Supreme Court Open Seat – in 2012 Posted by Danny, on May 26th, 2009, at 1:54 pmWhat was supposed to be a very interesting story in this spot turned out to be a very ordinary story about Supreme Court Justice Champ Lyons being too old to run for re-election when his seat comes up for re-election in 2012. Perhaps I’ll delete this non-story at some point, but I did want to attempt to clear up any confusion I may have inadvertently created. Thanks to the readers in comments who set us straight.

Justice Lyons is not up for reelection until 2012 at which time he will be too old to run again.

Hmmm… I may have gotten my time zones mixed up.
I’ll rework the post.
Thanks!

Or as mentioned by Any – oops
I think Lyons cannot run again if he wanted to because he’ll be 70.
Yep, thanks, JD, John, and Any. I was in the process of editing the post when you left your comment, JD.
