Cassell to step down as federal judge in Utah

GREAT news for anyone who still believes the Bill of Rights means anything close to what it says!

Oh.

Wait.

Dubya still gets to nominate a successor.

Darn.

jftr, Clinton's nomination to the Utah District Court (his only one, iirc) was a Republican, former prosecutor. This judge is among the one or two most competent on the federal bench in SLC. Not especially conservative and certainly not liberal. Just a darn good judge.

Dubya's effort to pack the judiciary with right wing ideologues is unnecessary and just plain wrong.

Judge Cassell was a half-wit ideolog that had very little understanding of anything in the civil arena. Now maybee people can starting getting some cases resolved.
