Glenn Reynolds proclaims Eugene Volokh to be an ideal choice, not just for a spot on the Supreme Court bench, but Chief Justice. I couldn’t agree more.
Throughout the five or so years I have known Eugene, he has consistently impressed me as a legal scholar who could remain true to libertarian first principles, while remaining moderate, and respectful of the doctrine of stare decisis. Further, there is a strong movement afoot to appoint a non-judge to the Supreme bench. While Eugene has clerked for Justice O’Connor, as well as Federal Appeals Court Judge Alex Kozinski, I don’t believe he’s ever been a state or federal jurist himself.
So, is there a “Draft Eugene” website out there?
