Opinion: A plea to 'senior' judges
By Hugh Hewitt Hugh Hewitt Bio Follow March 29 at 2:30 PM Although the flow of judicial nominations from the White House has inexplicably slowed in recent months, there are signs that the Senate Judiciary Committee under new chairman Lindsey O. Graham and the Senate Republican caucus under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prepared to invoke procedures first deployed by former Democratic Senate caucus leader Harry M.
That is great news for rule-of-law conservatives who believe Article III judges must reel in the administrative state, must uphold property rights, must guarantee the full civil rights of every American — all of those rights for all Americans. I believe these judges who are so eligible should announce their intention to take senior status — and soon. The rules have finally changed, and judges eligible for this choice thus have it in their power to guarantee that their successors will be superbly qualified. Their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution will be honored by opening the door for the next generation of judges committed to the rule of law and, yes, an “originalist” approach to judging.
