This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but...
Just got my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday. As is always the case, I'm having a little trouble with "unknown" names on the ballot, namely the judicial nominees. So, I'm asking anyone from CA with more knowledge than I for help deciphering these nominees:
Who are these judges and are there any hidden mini-Scalias here that I should be aware of? Mini-Ginsburg I should know about and vote for? If you got the scoop, let me know.
