		Douglas Howard Ginsburg (born May 25,1946) is the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
		Ginsburg's nomination was also troubled when it became known that he had used marijuana a few times during the 1960s and 1970s.
		At the time, the War on Drugs and Just Say No anti-drug programs were at a peak, and Ginsburg's admission of past drug use was unacceptable to some, especially since he had used marijuana not only as a student but also as a Harvard Law School professor [1].

		From the SEC, Ginsburg, at 25, was introduced to President Franklin Roosevelt's inner circle, first serving as a fact checker, a sounding board and an occasional stand-in for FDR's speechwriter, Samuel Rosenthal.
		Ginsburg began as a private, driving trucks, but the Army found better use for him, promoting Ginsburg to captain, a position in which he collected intelligence.
		Ginsburg says it was the specificity of the commission's job, to look at race relations in 1967 alone, that resulted in blame being perceived to be heaped on the Democratic leadership.

	Remarks Announcing the Nomination of Douglas H (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Judge Ginsburg is, as I am, as every justice I've nominated has been, a believer in judicial restraint; that is, that the proper role of the courts is to interpret the law, not make it.
		Throughout his professional career, Judge Ginsburg has shown that he also believes, as I do, that the courts must administer fair and firm justice, while remembering not just the rights of criminals but, equally important, the rights of the victims of crime and the rights of society.
		A word that many have used to describe Douglas Ginsburg is ``unpretentious.'' Now, that's quite a compliment for a judge.

	Remarks to Ethnic and Minority Administration Supporters on the Supreme Court Nomination of Douglas H (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Judge Ginsburg believes -- as I do and as do you, as do all those who have a proper and balanced understanding of the American system of government -- that it is the role of the courts to interpret the law, not to make it.
		And by the time I nominated Assistant Attorney General Ginsburg to the Court of Appeals, the Antitrust Division was conducting a record number of grand jury investigations of antitrust felonies.
		Judge Ginsburg has thus put into actual practice his belief in the fair and firm administration of justice; in justice that respects the rights of criminals, but that respects as well the rights of victims of crime and of society itself.

	Failed Nominees: A Rare Breed
		Ginsburg was former President Ronald Reagan's choice to succeed the retiring Justice Lewis Powell on the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987 after his original choice, Robert Bork, was rejected for views that critics described as outside the judicial mainstream.
		While grumbling typical of high-court nominations greeted the president's choice, Ginsburg appeared on his way to a standard confirmation until Nina Totenberg, a National Public Radio correspondent, reported that he smoked marijuana on several occasions in the 1960s and 1970s, possibly with students after he became a law school professor.
		As for Ginsburg, he retained his seat as a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after his nomination to the Supreme Court crashed and burned.

		Ginsburg and Breyer were broadly accepted because they were both relatively close to the political center, notwithstanding modern attempts to reinvent them as the second coming of Justices Douglas and Brennan.
		The fact that Ginsburg voted with Ken Starr (or disagreed with Edwards) on whether to defer to FERC on a natural gas pipeline case has absolutely nothing to do with whether she is a "liberal" as traditionally understood.
		And yet, there was a consensus that Ginsburg was the most moderate of the DC Circuit Democratic appointees at the time of her nomination, notwithstanding her strong public advocacy for women's rights before her appointment to the DC Circuit (which would generally tend to put you in liberal circles, from the media's point of view).

	A time for panic - problems with Douglas H. Ginsburg's appointment to Supreme Court National Review - Find Articles
		Douglas Ginsburg seemed a good--and shrewd--choice for the Supreme Court, but the Bork fight had created an echo chamber in which every peccadillo, or even putative peccadillo, seemed to roar like a subway train.
		The instant Beltway wisdom was that the White House had ignored the wise counsel of the moderate, pragmatic, realistic, sensible compromiser Howard Baker, who was however not entirely blameless in allowing himself to be overruled by the hard-line, ideological, right-wing extremist faction led by Ed Meese.
		Ginsburg was Meese's idea, while Baker had preferred Anthony Kennedy.

	Community Rights Counsel: Taking Back Community Rights
		Ginsburg established a track record of hostility to government regulation during his three-year stint as the administrator of the Office of Management and Budget's notoriously anti-regulatory Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
		It was under Ginsburg's leadership, after all, that the OMB, in arguing against asbestos control, used a cost-benefit analysis that calculated the cost to society of an individual losing his life to cancer, 40 years after exposure to asbestos, at a mere $22,000.
		Recently, for examples, Ginsburg shocked the legal community by co-authoring an opinion striking down the Environmental Protection Agency's clean air health standards for smog and soot, ruling that a central provision of the Clean Air Act represented an unacceptable "delegation" of power by Congress to the agency.

		The complaint charged that Davis, Ginsburg, Roth and Judge Danny J. Boggs, of the 6th Circuit, could not impartially do their jobs and serve on the board of a group that advocated a position corporations have pressed in federal court.
		In a letter to FREE board Chairman John A. Baden, Ginsburg said he had "reluctantly" chosen to resign and praised the group's academic seminars for judges.
		Douglas T. Kendall, attorney for the Community Rights Counsel, said the resignations prove "the simple point that a judge cannot sit on the board of an organization that takes money from corporations to influence the outcome of environmental cases."

		The Solicitor General authorized the filing of a full rehearing en banc petition based upon the strength of the Air Force's position, as reflected in a lengthy dissenting opinion, and in recognition of the "exceptional importance" of the issues that the case presents.
		The case stems from a June 1998 contract entered into between the Air Force and McDonnell Douglas for maintenance of certain KC-10 and KDC-10 aircraft, which are used for aerial refueling of other military aircraft.

	The Volokh Conspiracy -
		In a reflection of the new mood, Douglas Ginsburg wrote an article in Regulation, a libertarian magazine published by the Cato Institute, calling for the resurrection of ''the Constitution in Exile.'' He noted that for 60 years, proper constitutional limits on government power had been abandoned.
		Ginsburg's alleged manifesto was a review of a book by David Schoenbrod arguing for the return of a strong nondelegation doctrine in constitutional law.
		Ginsburg's review argues that the answer to the policy concerns raised by excessive delegation is not constitutional law, but statutory law: he embraces an idea introduced by Justice Stephen Breyer in a 1984 article in the Georgetown Law Journal that expensive regulations should require affirmative Congressional approval.

		A brilliant jurist with an antitrust background, his first nomination to the Court by President Ronald Reagan was scuttled when one of his former Harvard Law School colleagues reported that he had smoked marijuana a few times back in the ’60’s and ’70’s (those concerns seem quaintly anachronistic now, don’t they?).
		Both Ginsburgs used to serve on the DC Court of Appeals, and I very much doubt that anyone was confused for very long.
		Ginsburg wrote the main opinion, to which Souter and Breyer signed on and Ginsburg and Scalia concurred.

		And it was Ginsburg who four weeks ago wrote a blistering take-down of Sporkin, thundering that the latter’s attack of judicial conscience "wreaked havoc with the administration of justice."
		Ginsburg, in a unanimous appeals court ruling, ordered Sporkin to impose a sentence of 70-to-87 months (slightly lower than it otherwise would have been because of recalculations under the complicated sentencing guidelines).
