William Rehnquist was one as was Anthony Kennedy. There are probably others but I cannot think of them. Just for trivia's sake, the two who stepped to the plate before Janet Reno were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, each done in because they did what 99% of people of their stature did back then (and still do): pay nannies in cash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-48906045299606361612017-01-05T10:37:22.720-05:002017-01-05T10:37:22.720-05:00This US Attorney spot is going to:

He served nearly five years in Circuit Court and then left for a year for private practice before getting appointed to the Fed bench by Ronald Reagan in 1985 at the age of 37. I believe he was the youngest ever appointed to the federal district court at the time as well. Interestingly, Reagan appointed Alex Kozinski to the 9th Circuit at age 35 that same year (1985) making Kozinski the youngest on the Federal Appeals court ever. Scott spent five years on the federal bench before resigning in disgust in 1990. That was the year that Congress refused to give the federal judges a raise. After another stint in private practice, he was tapped in 1997 by Clinton as the US Attorney to the SD of Florida. He left that position after three years and now runs one of the most successful insurance defense firms in Florida, "Cole, Scott, & Kissane".<br /><br />Scott was famous for many reasons: first, as the young circuit court judge who handled the Johnny Jones "gold plumbing" case. Jones was convicted of grand theft and Judge Scott sentenced him to three years in prison followed by five years of probation. Jones was the Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent at the time of his arrest. Jones was accused of using his school board account to purchase gold plated plumbing fixtures for his vacation home in Naples. The 3rd DCA eventually overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial.<br /><br />Scott was also know for showing up earlier to the MJB than any other person in the building. No matter how many cases you could cite in support of your Motion to Suppress, he always had one more to ask you about; and he did it at his not so famous eight am special hearings. If you ever had to enter his chambers, you were always met by his German Sheppard that went everywhere with him.<br /><br />Cap Out .....<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-56443974096629466102017-01-04T21:24:08.105-05:002017-01-04T21:24:08.105-05:00I think Trump needs to look no further than Daryl ...I think Trump needs to look no further than Daryl Trawick for the US Attorneys position.
