That's one of the peculiarities I was thinking of when I used it. Why take away the vote of the person who best knows the requirements of a judicial position? He's the one who knows this the best. Ordinarily it's not a recently appointed judge. It's a judge with a certain amount of experience. Why take away his vote? I've never understood why. I'd like someone to tell me. That seems to go against the committee's purpose.
The other peculiarity was to include law enforcement people. These are ordinary police officers. I believe he appointed a police officer.
