Washington Post: J. Michael Luttig Resigns From Appeals Court
Appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a leading conservative jurist and a short-list Bush administration candidate for the Supreme Court, announced today that he is resigning from the bench to serve as senior vice president and general counsel of the Boeing Co.
Judge Luttig’s resignation letter is here.
Congratulations to Judge Luttig. The chances of his appointment to SCOTUS would have been speculative and this corporate position looks attractive both financially and professionally.
And…..the Judge never has to face Slow Joe Biden again at a confirmation hearing…….
Now, that is PRICELESS!
