Congratulations to you both. That's something, alright.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Congratulations to him, and your whole family!

Well done! Glad to see good people put on the bench, finally!

Excellent!

Too bad I don't practice in Texas, but I'm looking forward to reviewing his opinions.

I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

Well, not just anybody can get appointed to a Federal bench.

It is a good gig.

Congratulations to him.

That's great!

I'm curious - how extensive and excrutiating was that background check?

I asked him about that. He said they discourage them carrying inside the courtroom, but in the end it is their courtroom and he can do it if he wants.

I’m not sure I want to live in a world where a Judge in Texas ain’t strapped. Sad days these are, sad days indeed... Frown

Federal courthouses are pretty secure. But it is up to him.
