(Scranton) -- Senior U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy has died at a Pennsylvania hospital. He was 93.
His son-in-law Larry Moran, Sr., says Conaboy passed away Friday morning at Scranton Regional Hospital. He says Conaboy died with his wife holding his hand and surrounded by his 12 children. He didn't give a cause of death.
He says his father-in-law was a "great man."
The Times-Tribune reports former Vice President Joe Biden, also a Scranton native, visited Conaboy in the hospital on Sunday.
Conaboy was nominated by President Jimmy Carter in May 1979 to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and was confirmed that July.
He was a Lackawanna County judge for 17 years before being named a federal judge. With Biden's help, he was named chairman of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and had that post 1994 to 1998.
So, which boys did he con?
Replace him with a true conservative.
He went to a Scranton hospital, no wonder he died.
he was in senior status so he didn’t occupy a seat but he probably did hear cases.
There is a vacancy though in that district which I’m sure Trump will fill and Mitch will confirm.
RIP.
Attaboy, Conaboy.
Now Mr President nominate get a good conservative constitutionalist to replace him.
Another opening for Trump and McConnell to fill.
So sad.
Oh well, that’s one less.
93 Fn years old
Amend the Constitution . . . “for life” meant the 60s, maybe the 70s
Not the damn 80s and 90s
Drain the JUDICIAL SWAMP
I have a proposal for all Federal Employees, except POTUS and VPOTUS.
All Federal Employees must retire from their Federal employment when they come upon the age of 65, maybe 70.
This applies to Congress and the military as well.
