BOO!!
Senate Republicans and a "moderate" Democrat rejected the nomination of Andrew McDonald to head the state Supreme Court.
The state Senate delivered a historic rejection Tuesday of Justice Andrew McDonald as the states next chief justice in a bitter and emotional battle over controversial issues ranging from the death penalty to homophobia.
All 18 Senate Republicans voted against McDonald and joined with a moderate Democrat, Sen. Joan Hartley of Waterbury, a strong supporter of the death penalty who was concerned about McDonald's vote to eliminate capital punishment.
