The legacy of Justice Pamela Minzner will be one of great civil service to the people of New Mexico. Her unfortunate passing last month has left a vacancy on the New Mexico Supreme Court and today I have confirmed news that Chief Judge Robert E. Robles has applied for the vacant seat.
I am happy to see Judge Robles file for the job. I agreed with Governor Richardson's remarks at the swearing in ceremony for Judge Fernando Macias that Judge Robles "looks like a Supreme Court Judge". See the video on Heath Haussamen's site. Judge Robles has set a standard to follow in the New Mexico Judicial system. His strict interpretation of the law but fair judicial mind has made him one the most respected Judges in the area. He will be a great asset to the New Mexico Supreme Court and more importantly to the people of New Mexico.
I encourage the Governor to remember what he said and make it happen. Southern New Mexico needs more representation in Santa Fe and the addition of Judge Robles to the bench in Santa Fe is a great start.
