Subero doesn't want the job

[NewsWhore]

The chief justice of the Dominican Republic Supreme Court has told reporters that he had put his seat on the court at the disposition of the President in 2007. He said, "I am not interested in continuing on the court." Jorge Subero Isa was questioned about his job's future by reporters from Hoy and other newspapers as they speculated on the upcoming meeting of the National Council of Magistrates, the national body in charge of choosing the Supreme Court judges. Subero reminded the reporters that he had never asked for the job. He said that he has always believed that magistrates and justices should be subject to a process of regular evaluations, but at the same time he reminded the reporters that all magistrates elected after 1997 can only be removed if they commit grievous faults or do not fulfill their responsibilities. He added that any vacancies that arise should be filled by judges currently acting on the bench. The Supreme Court of Justice has been under considerable criticism for lenient decisions by judges especially in drug and labor cases.
