2026/07/27

Former Rhode Island House Speaker Joe Shekarchi may be eligible to serve on the state Supreme Court, after Superior Court Judge Richard Licht ruled that the “revolving door” ethics law doesn’t apply to the judiciary — which is constitutionally established, not a regular government job. The ruling came after ethics concerns raised by figures like former law school dean Michael Yelnosky, who questioned Shekarchi’s swift transition.

A judge clears the way for former Rhode Island House Speaker Joe Shekarchi to run for the Supreme Court, ruling he doesn’t violate ethics rules by applying — a move that could reshape the state’s judicial nomination process. The decision, made just before his interview with the Judicial Nominating Commission, centers on whether applying for a constitutional office exempts him from “revolving-door” laws.

Rhode Island’s top court just cleared the way for Joe Shekarchi to run for the state Supreme Court — a major win as the selection process kicks into gear.

Providence just paid $300K to Chris Murphy after a 2019 protest incident where officers allegedly attacked him—kneeing him in the head from behind. Though the federal judge found one officer likely violated his rights, a jury never got to decide. Murphy, a social worker, calls the settlement a hollow victory: without personal accountability for cops, payouts just become taxpayer-funded costs. He’s pushing for real reform—like barring officers from using force on non-resisting people—and says
