HARTFORD — Now that Supreme Court Justice Andrew McDonald is out, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has five days to advance a new nominee for chief justice, according to state statute. Malloy did not have a second choice for the top judicial spot, he said in a Capitol news conference right after the Senate vote Tuesday. He will be giving a new nominee “some thought” over the coming days, he said. If he does not issue a new nomination, the senior-most Supreme Court judge who is willing to assume the responsibilities of chief justice, would temporarily fill the role, Malloy said. Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano of North Haven said Monday his caucus would like to see Supreme Court Justice Richard A. Robinson get the job.
