Judge

The Resume

    (May 5, 1957- )
    Born in Bloomington, Indiana
    Federal judge
    Member of the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th District (2009- )
    BA Haverford College, JD Yale Law School
    Private practice and legal counsel for then Indiana Governor Evan Bayh 1983 - 1994, federal judge 1994 - present

Why he might be annoying:

    He's a lawyer.
    He's a judge.
    In one ruling (later overturned), he declared it unconstitutional for the Indiana state legislature to mention Jesus in its prayers to open its sessions but could mention Allah.
    In another ruling (also overturned, in part on grounds informed consent is standard medical practice), he ruled it unconstitutional to force abortionists to tell women of health risks associated with abortion.
    When he was first nominated for the federal bench in 1994, the American Bar Association judged him 'unqualified' for the position.
    He was only confirmed by the US Senate by a 59 - 39 vote and had to overcome a filibuster to do so.
    He has been a fund raiser for the ACLU and ACORN

Why he might not be annoying:

    He once (upheld on appeal) sentenced a child pornographer to 100 years in prison.
    His personal honesty is unquestioned and has never had any type of bribery or corruption and certainly no sexual scandal attached to his name.
    He upheld (overturned on appeal) a law requiring parental consent for underage children to buy violent or sexually explicit video games.
    He's reportedly very likable and obviously quite bright.
