And the next Attorney General is...


In a few minutes (at 11 am CT), Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will name, Douglas County District Judge Stephen N. Six the state’s next attorney general, sources tell me. A name that I had never heard mentioned as a possible contender.

The son of a former state Supreme Court justice, Six would succeed disgraced Attorney General Paul Morrison, who announced his resignation Dec. 14 after publicity surrounding an affair with a one-time subordinate.

So who is Judge Six?
He is the son of retired Kansas Supreme Court justice Fred Six, who served on the high court from September 1988 until January 2003.

Six was appointed to the bench by Sebelius in 2005. He is the son of retired Kansas Supreme Court Justice Fred Six, grew up in Lawrence and clerked for U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Deanell Tacha. Before being named a judge, Six was a plaintiff’s attorney in the firm of Shamberg, Johnson & Bergman in Kansas City, Mo.

Stay tuned, I will relay further information, as I become aware of it.

And that's my view, what's yours?
