Posted by Mike McKinney CommentsBrian Blanche | November 15, 2007 9:36 PM link Am I missing something here... The guy has been a judge all of 3 years... prior to that he was in private practice and a law clerk.. Tell me again why this guy is "The Best" we could pick.. Jburrows | November 16, 2007 6:26 AM link Well, isn't this interesting. If he wasn't Lincoln C. Almond's son, he would not be considered for this position.

This is great news and I hope to God Linc is confirmed. I worked with Linc for many years and found him to be one of the most intellegent, thoughtful and decent human beings I ever met. By thoughtful, I mean that he truly considered all possibilities when giving advice, and that advice was always tremendously sound. I liked his father, but I liked Linc much more. Linc will be the one of the best Federal Judges RI has ever seen. I'm sure of it.
