Classic. Families deserve better than political stunts with their holiday plans. #ncpol #flight #holidays

I heard a while back the NC legislature wants to switch to “merit” elections for judges — where voters just say “Yes” or “No” instead of picking between candidates. And I’m sure the current Supreme Court, led by Justice Newby, would back it. #ncpol #NCJustice

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.
Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.
