[Editorial] About Wagner Being Confirmed As Tennessee Supreme Court Justice

Judge Mary L. Wagner is currently a circuit court judge for Shelby County whose jurisdiction covers the city of Memphis.

According to the linked news, Ms. Wagner was appointed by Governor Bill Lee in February, 2024. And she was officially confirmed March 11 by the General Assembly as the newest justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court.

Governor Bill Lee appears to have made the serious mistake for the appointment. And the General Assembly failed to fix the error during the confirmation process.

This appointment and confirmation is really wrong. Time will or may show why Wagner is not suitable for the job. Wagner is disqualified for any judgeship. She is not qualified not only for the bench of Tennessee Supreme Court but also as the judge for the circuit court of Shelby County in Tennessee.

Criminal investigatoins should be performed about the previous cases which Wagner handled or dealt with.
