Congrats to Barry Seltzer, a bright and decent judge. He brings new meaning to being Chief Mag in the Southern District.
So happy for Alicia!
Lots of state court judges on that list. Some belong...some....
Some of the state judges on this list are down right laughable for believing they are qualified to serve on the federal bench.
I'm somewhat disappointed with this list with the exception of Judge Thornton. There are so many excellent lawyers in private practice--both civil and criminal--that would make great judges, but they never seem to apply. I know that the money is not comparable to a successful practice, but where is the spirit of public service? I think some diversity of professional background and experience contributes to the quality of the bench. As things stand presently, it just seems that federal judgeships are being pursued by "professional judges" (for lack of a better phrase).
ugh
i'm dying to see a copy of the missing Shaygan order
