I’m not sure if it is simply Outstanding Partnership Award A that I am getting older (and I admit that I now read the obituaries every day) or Outstanding Newsletter that the legal profession in El Paso is just experiencing a difficult period in our Publication Achievement Award history, but during my tenure as president, we have lost some giants of the legal profession including NABE LexisNexis Awards Judge Robert Galvan, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mike McDonald, Larry Baskind, Milton Colia, Mike Community & Education Outreach Award Hutson, Dale McCleary, Michael Stell, J. Sam Moore, Jr., Robert B. Wales, Rick Zamora, and just a -2007, 2010 & 2012 couple of weeks ago, my dear friend Gary J. Hill. Like many of you, I was close to several of those Excellence in Web Design – 2007 lawyers who are no longer with us, but I was particularly close to Mike McDonald and Gary Hill. Excellence in Special Publications – 2008 Mike was a true mentor to me. I met and worked with him when he was an Assistant Federal Public Christopher Antcliff, President Defender and later a United State Magistrate Judge. He taught me a great deal about compassion in Mark Dore, President-Elect the practice of law and speaking to clients in such a manner that they were able to truly understand Jennifer Vandenbosch, Vice President what was in their best interest. Gary, on the other hand, was profane, crotchety, loud, and often, Daniel Hernandez, Treasurer obnoxious. Mary Stillinger and I handled many, many cases with Gary and we can both tell you that Jeff Ray, Secretary all of the stories you’ve heard about him are true. But, at a difficult period in my life, when I called Myer Lipson, Immediate Past President upon him for help, he did not hesitate and I will be forever grateful. Each of us entered this profession to help others, and sometimes those “others” are lawyers. Please 2016-2017 Board Members remember each of these local legends as you read this column, and then perhaps share some of your Kristina Voorhies Legan memories of their lives with the younger members of the El Paso Legal Community.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL JOURNAL 51 SAM RAYBURN AND THE RULES COMMITTEE CHANGE OF 1961 by James Smallwood In the last months of the Eisenhower Administration, Sam Raybwn of Texas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, encountered growing opposition to reform legislation. Sometimes called a populist, sometimes a liberal, and sometimes a moderate-regaI'dless of classification, Rayburn in forty-six years of continuous service in the House established a record for positive achievement, but in the Eighty-Sixth Congress, which met in 1959, the Conunittee on Rules blocked the Democratic legislative program even though the Democrats were in the majority.1 This opposition to progressive legislation challenged the Speaker's long record of leadership. lndeed, RaybmD had an impressive public career. Born in Roane County, Tennessee; on January 6, 1882, he moved to Texas during his youth and received his education at East Texas College at Commerce and The University of Texas Law School at Austin.

    Supreme Court Nominations Not Confirmed, 1789 to the Present name redacted Analyst in American National Government August 20, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL31171 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Supreme Court Nominations Not Confirmed, 1789 to the Present Summary Since 1789, Presidents have submitted 160 nominations to Supreme Court positions. Of these, 36 were not confirmed by the Senate. The 36 nominations represent 31 individuals whose names were sent forward to the Senate by Presidents (some individuals were nominated more than once). Of the 31 individuals who were not confirmed the first time they were nominated, however, six were later nominated again and confirmed. The Supreme Court nominations discussed here were not confirmed for a variety of reasons, including Senate opposition to the nominating President, nominee’s views, or incumbent Court; senatorial courtesy; perceived political unreliability of the nominee; perceived lack of ability; interest group opposition; and fear of altering the balance of the Court. The Senate Committee on the Judiciary has played an important role in the confirmation process, particularly since 1868. All but the most recent of these nominations have been the subject of extensive legal, historical, and political science writing, a selected list of which is included in this report. This report will be updated as warranted by events. Congressional Research Service Supreme Court Nominations Not Confirmed, 1789 to the Present Contents

The Johnson Administration-Judicial Appointments-1963-1966* Harold W. Chaset I. THE KENNEDY SELECTIONS When Lyndon B. Johnson became President seven appoint- ments to the federal bench made by President Kennedy were still awaiting confirmation.' Since only one of these appointees, Homer Thornberry, had been confirmed by the Senate prior to the assassination, Johnson could have withdrawn the names of the other six and, presumably, could have even refused to for- mally appoint Thornberry. However, with understandable and admirable loyalty to the late President, President Johnson pro- ceeded with the formalities required to effectuate the Kennedy nominations. Unfortunately for him, two of the seven nominees turned out to be highly controversial. A. DAvm RABiNoviTz After President Kennedy had nominated David Rabinovitz of Sheboygan to the federal district bench in Wisconsin, he let it be known that he was for Rabinovitz "all the way."2 However, neither of Wisconsin's Democratic senators favored the appoint- ment.3 In addition, the ABA's Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary was vehemently opposed to the appointment and rated Rabinovitz as unqualified for the post.
