R.I. judge questions ethics complaint against Shekarchi
A Rhode Island judge questioned whether a complaint alleging former House speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi violated a “revolving door” ethics provision by applying for a Supreme Court vacancy will proceed, with a decision expected soon. The case centers on whether Shekarchi’s pursuit of the judicial position is protected by an exception allowing elected officials to seek constitutional offices, and whether the law applies to appointed judiciary positions. The judge's ruling could impact Shekarchi’s potential appointment, as the Judicial Nominating Commission is scheduled to interview him shortly.
