If they devoted
If they devoted themselves to him for a year, he would tell them, “I’ll devote myself to you for the rest of your career.” Almost all of his clerks — more than 40 over the years — went onto clerkships at the Supreme Court. “That was eye-popping to everyone,” says fellow former federal judge, Thomas Griffith, a classmate of Luttig’s at the University of Virginia law school. “For Mike, that was a badge of honor.”

For all his perceived
For all his perceived reliability as a conservative bulwark, Luttig could befuddle the political right. He ruled that Title IX protected a female place-kicker on an all-male football team from gender discrimination. He upheld a Black defendant’s right to exclude a White juror who had displayed the Confederate flag. And in 2000 he declared that the constitutional right to abortion established with Roe v.

More than 5 feet of snow blasted parts of the Sierra Nevada, according to the weather service's prediction center. Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties were swamped with more than 7 inches of rain, the weather service said. In San Luis Obispo County, roads were flooded and strong winds with gusts up to 80 mph brought down power lines. Nearly 30,000 customers lost power for hours over the weekend, according to PG&E.
