Indiana may soon stand alone:
BOISE -- Two women are among the final four candidates to take the seat on the Idaho Supreme Court left vacant by the August retirement of Linda Copple-Trout, who was the first woman on the state's highest court when she was appointed by former Gov. Cecil Andrus in 1992.
Judges Juneal Kerrick of the 3rd District and Darla Williamson of the 4th District court were nominated by the Idaho Judicial Council along with 4th district Judge Joel Horton and Coeur d'Alene attorney Kenneth Howard to succeed Trout.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter has not indicated when he will name the state's newest Supreme Court justice.
The nominations of Kerrick and Williamson eased concerns of some that Idaho would join Indiana as the only states without a woman sitting on its highest court.
Good lord! This means . . . absolutely nothing.
