Conservative Judge Luttig Retires From 4th Circuit
Since Judge J. Michael Luttig has been mentioned many times for a Suprme Court judgeship and is one of the most conservative judges around, I think it's good news that he submitted his resignation today. He will now be Executive Vice President and General Counsel for Boeing.
His letter of resignation to President Bush is here (pdf).
It sounds like pay was a big factor in his decision. He writes that he has two children approaching college age, and his highest obligation is to his family.
