Homosexual Virginia prosecutor, Tracy Thorne-Begland, may still stand a chance of getting an interim judgeship after making national headlines after the House of Delegates denied him a judicial appointment because of his sexuality.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that because the Virginia House and Senate already authorized funding to fill the Richmond General District Court judgeship, the six judges of Richmond’s Circuit Court have the authority to decide whether to fill the judgeship. A judgeship is a six-year term, but anyone appointed by the judges will serve on as an interim judge and be subject to approval by the General Assembly when it reconvenes in January.
