STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three
A RESOLUTION urging the governor and executive council to consider appointing a non-lawyer to the supreme court.
Whereas, the supreme court's duty is to interpret the New Hampshire Constitution and the United State Constitution; and
Whereas, these Constitutions are written in laymen's terms; and
Whereas, a layman is as qualified to interpret the Constitutions as a lawyer; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the New Hampshire house of representatives urges the governor and executive council to consider appointing a non-lawyer to serve as a supreme court justice; and
That copies of this resolution be sent by the house clerk to the governor and each member of the executive council.
