sen. Waddell, unwavering in wanting this judge to be from Loudoun, said he had hoped to “work out a compromise with Democrats in the House to support a Loudoun person—a competent attorney and a Democrat.”
On Friday morning, Loudoun and Fauquier bar associations held emergency meetings to unanimously endorse substitute nominees. By late Friday afternoon, Charles B. Foley of Warrenton and George Martin of Loudoun were in Richmond before the Slfate* Courts of Justice Committee.
The House Courts of Justice Committee did not open its doors to the two soc ailed emergency nominations. The position seemed to be that the House already had its mind made up and that Foley and Martin were strictly Senate nominees.
Meanwhile, waiting outside the door of the Senate’s Court of Justice Committee Friday afternoon Sen. Waddell asked area legislators about who circulated a "upsetting and unsigned memo” to all state senators about the judgeship.
In part, this is what the unsigned memo said about the Loudoun County bar’s submitting George Martin’s name in place of Kenneth Rollins: “It is felt that the intention of this move is to create a deadlock between the House and Senate caucuses, therefore making it possible for Kenneth Rollins to be appointed to the bench.”
The Loudoun bar’s telegram was countered by a letter signed by Del. Bell and sent to the Senate Democratic caucus before Monday's meeting to decide the Senate nominees for the 20th District and another, unrelated, contested judgeship.
