He is the president of Dickinson College and a retired federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate in 2002.

Key Points: 
  • He is the president of Dickinson College and a retired federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate in 2002.
  • I think it’s clear they’re going to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court.
  • I would look for a reversal in a fairly short period of time.
  • The surprise may be that some of the more liberal justices could join the majority.
  • I think you could potentially see some concurring opinions, although I think Chief Justice John Roberts will try to wrap it into one opinion.
  • Murray clerked for Justice Neil Gorsuch when he was on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and also clerked for Justice Elena Kagan on the Supreme Court.
  • Of course, it got challenged up to the Supreme Court, and in the Constitution there’s no amendment that imposes term limits.
  • There’s an element of trying to torture a very poorly written section down into something that fits the situation in 2024.
