Montana Supreme Court quashes subpoena of judicial emails April 12, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail HELENA, Mont. (AP) The Montana Supreme Court has temporarily quashed a legislative subpoena for the state court administrator s emails, which are believed to contain responses to a poll of District Court judges on legislation to give the governor more power in filling judicial vacancies between elections. Gov. Greg Gianforte, a Republican, signed a bill into law in March to eliminate the Judicial Nomination Commission and allow the governor to directly fill judicial vacancies. A legal challenge was filed with the Montana Supreme Court the next day. Chief Justice Mike McGrath recused himself from the case because he had met with Gianforte and Lt. Gov. Kristen Juras and urged them not to support the bill. District Court Judge Kurt Kueger was appointed to fill his spot.
