The puppet governor of Nutmegland has nominated blog star William Bright to the high court, making him the seventh dwarf of the bench of legal miscreants whose claim to fame is bleeding unsuspecting taxpayers of hard earned dollars, while providing illusion of justice to the detriment of Founding Father principles. William-not-so-Bright is best known for kicking fellow blog star Holly Abery-Wetstone out of his Rockville Courthouse after her famous act of punishing a mother by taking the kids away, a purchased ruling in the Bushey case, exemplary conduct of the hard hearted jew wielding absolute maniacal discretion from the family bench, manifesting mental incompetency, the hallmark of Connecticut jewdicial powers. Story goes that Holly’s despicable misuse of the law arrived via fax to Bright’s desk, where the next day Holly disappeared from the courthouse without so much is a farewell tea served by her less than adoring clerks. Press inquiries as to her disappearance were ignored, but then Marty Libbin, the general fixer, came out with nonsensical disinformation that immediate needs of the Branch required her presence elsewhere, a statement lacking any basis in fact. Even Chief Court Administrator Patrick Carroll dodged all questions on why Holly was found hiding in the basement of juvenile court, removed from the family bench. The remaining judges in Rockville quietly undid Holly’s malicious custody orders, letting kids hug mom, to live normal childhoods.
In a real court system, run by real Patriots, under the color of the American flag, Holly would have been flushed out of the judge ranks for being the heartless, evil, cold monster we have all come to hate over the years; public suffering of her raging insanity, cloaked in jewdicial discretion, notwithstanding. Now the fun part will be watching members of the judiciary committee avoid asking Not-So-Bright about the disappearance of Holly from his courthouse, after all, half the committee members are lawyers, whose livelihood is controlled by the clowns in black robes before whom they grovel for a meal ticket; rule of law simply does not apply in Corrupticut.
Governor Lamont Nominates Judge William Bright to the Supreme Court
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is forwarding to the Connecticut General Assembly the nominations of several jurists to serve in positions on Connecticut’s courts, including the Honorable William H. Bright, Jr. as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, the Honorable Robin L. Wilson as a judge of the Appellate Court, and 13 other jurists as judges of the Superior Court.
Additionally, the governor is nominating two jurists to serve as family support magistrates and three as administrative law judges on the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
“Nominating judges to serve on our courts is one of the most important responsibilities of a governor, especially because judges are the final authority on the interpretation of the law and the constitution, and for ensuring that justice is administered fairly and without prejudice,” Governor Lamont said. “Judge Bright has been an excellent leader of our Appellate Court over these last four and a half years, and he has had an impressive career handling all types of cases both on the trial and appellate levels. Likewise, Judge Wilson is an incredibly well-respected member of Connecticut’s legal community, having served in the Superior Court for more than two decades. I am confident that these nominees each have the high standards and qualifications the people of Connecticut deserve to have serving for them on the bench.”
Judge Bright, 62, of Columbia, is currently the chief judge of the Appellate Court. He is being nominated to fill the associate justice seat on the Supreme Court that was most recently held by the Honorable Raheem L. Mullins, who was recently nominated by Governor Lamont to become chief justice.
Judge Bright has served on the Appellate Court since 2017 and as chief judge since 2020. In the role of chief judge, he has been responsible for managing the operations of the Appellate Court, in addition to sitting on a full docket of cases, assigning cases to authoring judges, reviewing all opinions of the court before publication, overseeing clerks for judge trial referees, and addressing personnel and building management issues.
Immediately prior to his nomination to the Appellate Court, Judge Bright served as a judge of the Superior Court from 2008 to 2017, presiding over criminal, civil, habeas corpus, and juvenile trials. While on the Superior Court, he served as the presiding judge of the Connecticut Judicial Branch’s statewide mediation program in 2017, chief administrative judge for civil matters from 2015 to 2017, administrative and presiding judge for the Tolland Judicial District from 2013 to 2017, and presiding judge of a civil complex litigation docket from 2011 to 2013.
Before being nominated to the bench, he was a partner with the law firm of McCarter and English from 2003 to 2008, and with Cummings and Lockwood from 1987 to 2003. With both firms, he worked as a trial attorney, handling cases in both state and federal courts and representing individuals, government entities, and small and large businesses in environmental, property, and commercial matters.
Judge Bright graduated from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, summa cum laude, and earned a Juris Doctor degree, with honors, from the University of Chicago Law School. He is a James W. Cooper Fellow of the Connecticut Bar Foundation and a member emeritus of the Oliver Ellsworth Inn of Court.
“I want to thank Governor Lamont for his faith and confidence in me,” Judge Bright said. “It is truly an honor to be nominated and considered for a position on our state’s highest court. It has been my distinct pleasure to serve the people of Connecticut as a judge of the Superior Court and the Appellate Court over the past 17 years. If confirmed, I promise to bring to my job as an associate justice of our Supreme Court the same work ethic, fidelity to the law, and respect for the parties and attorneys who appear before us that I have strived to demonstrate every day since becoming a judge.”
