When Stewart was selected, the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission at least went through the "motions" of advertising the position and taking applications.

None of that happened this time around. We just get the announcement, which Sachar obviously produced, that says he was selected. I guess the Commission decided to just completely skip the "sham" hiring process this time around.

Most of the active judges seemed to have some degree of respect for David Stewart since he had been a District Court Judge prior to being selected Executive Director. Sachar probably won't garner that same amount of respect, based upon the fact he has never served in a judicial capacity and some judges simply perceived him to be Stewart's "attack dog."

It will be interesting to see who Sachar hires to fill his old position, and whether Sachar acts more like Badami or Stewart as Executive Director.
