Michigan: Justice Elizabeth Weaver resigned unexpectedly from the Michigan Supreme Court today. About only one month ago, Weaver announced that she would run for re-election as an Independent.[1]
According to the Traverse City Record Eagle, "Weaver said she would not have resigned without Granholm's agreement to select a northern Michigan replacement."[2]
That appointment was announced by Governor Jennifer Granholm this afternoon. Alton Davis, of the Michigan Fourth District Court of Appeals, will join the Michigan Supreme Court. The appointment is effective immediately and not subject to any approval.[3]
