Judge Farmer out?

This VLW Blog post said that Senator Puckett has declared his opposition to the reappointment of Judge John Farmer of the J & DR court in the district of Buchanan, Dickenson, Tazewell, and Russell counties.

Nobody's told me who will get the circuit court job for that same area, maybe because nobody knows. As evidenced by the hold up on the reappointment of Judge Farmer, the selection of a judge for the 29th Circuit is even more complicated now than it was in the circumstances of last year, when the Republicans evidently could not agree on a successor to Judge Williams from Grundy.
