Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
[It’s]
not
surprising
that
a
conservative
judge
who
values
the
judiciary
as
an
institution
and
its
indispensable
role
in
our
system
would
hesitate
to
retire
or
take
senior
status.
…
I
very
much
would
suspect
that
a
nomination
like
[Emil]
Bove
will
gives
judges
otherwise
contemplating
taking
senior
status
a
reason
to
continue
their
service
instead.

Gregg
Nunziata,
executive
director
of
the
Society
for
the
Rule
of
Law,
a
conservative
legal
group
that’s
critical
of
Donald
Trump,
in
comments
given
to
Bloomberg
Law,
on
the
likelihood
that
more
conservative
judges
will
opt
to
take
senior
status
under
the
president’s
second
term.
Very
few
Republican-appointed
judges
eligible
for
retirement
have
done
so,
denying
Trump
the
chance
to
replace
moderate
jurists
with
more
conservative
candidates.
