“Governor Justice’s picks to fill the Supreme Court means more corruption and political positioning from Republican Leadership in West Virginia. The betterment of West Virginia is the last thing on their minds, it’s another classic case of GOP corruption.

“Talk about having no faith in our justice system or our leadership in West Virginia, this type of political gamesmanship is exactly why these decisions should be left up to the people of West Virginia. Unfortunately, Republican Leadership is more concerned with political games than listening to hardworking West Virginians who have their livelihoods at stake.

“Not only do Armstead and Jenkins lack necessary experience but by aligning with Justice they have proven that they are nothing more than political peas in a pod and will continue to make decisions based on politics and not people.”
