Here's a "useless trivia" question...
Who was the last presidential candidate of a major party or Supreme Court nominee to sport facial hair?

8. looks pretty full here.


A distinguished adjunct professor of law with George Mason since 1988, Judge Ginsburg has also served on the law faculties of the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and Columbia University. Before his appointment to the bench in 1986 by President Reagan, Judge Ginsburg was assistant attorney general in charge of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice; administrator for information and regulatory affairs in the Office of Management and Budget; and deputy assistant attorney general for regulatory affairs in the Justice Department. He clerked for Justice Thurgood Marshall of the U.S. Supreme Court and for Judge Carl McGowan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

9. Strange; the book I got it from was written in '95;guess the author forgot
Okay; I'll change to "Besides Bork, name the last guy".

I'll check the book when I get home; maybe I missed something.

10. it's not bork- it's Douglas Ginsburg.
he was nominated to the SCOTUS, but withdrew because he had (gasp!) used majrijuana. his nomination never made it to the senate floor.

12. I'll check the book; maybe I misread "nominated" as "appointed" or somthin
I probably did; that's the only way Dewey makes sense.

7. Yep; Tom Dewey, '48.
No idea why it's been that long, IMO.
