note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
There
are
appointments
of
the
president
who
have
really
become
stars
on
the
bench,
and
from
the
perspective
of
the
people
who’ll
be
advising
and
choosing,
are
probably
held
in
very
high
regard.
You
would
imagine
that
there’ll
be
an
effort
to
find
more
appointees
who
are
like
them.
—
Jesse
Panuccio,
the
Justice
Department’s
former
Acting
Associate
Attorney
General
under
the
first
Trump
administration
and
current
partner
at
Boies
Schiller
Flexner,
in
comments
given
to
Bloomberg
Law,
on
the
archetype
of
judicial
candidate
that
president-elect
Donald
Trump
will
be
looking
to
appoint
during
his
second
go
round
in
the
White
House.
Panuccio
is
likely
referring
to
judges
like
Aileen
Cannon
(S.D.
Fla.),
Matthew
Kacsmaryk
(N.D.
Tex.),
and
James
Ho
(5th
Cir.).
Mike
Davis,
a
former
Senate
Republican
aide
who
now
runs
a
conservative
legal
group,
the
Article
III
Project,
echoed
Panuccio’s
remarks
in
urging
older
and
more
moderate
Republican-appointed
judges
to
step
aside,
saying,
“It’s
a
good
time
to
let
a
younger,
more
bold,
more
fearless
conservative
judge
take
your
place.”
