Senate Confirms Raggi as U.S. Appeals Court Judge

Let me guess... pro-abortion?

She is a former New York U.S. attorney,

Wonder who's position she will favor when the basis of a law is being challenged....

[concerned about politics]

New York, the state with the highest tax burden and the entire liberal NYC. I can see why they let her through.
Democrats are evil.

Here's her bio - http://www.usdoj.gov/olp/raggibio.htm

Looked for recent decisions, she granted Charles Schwarz 1 million bail - http://www.nycpba.org/press-abc/02/abc-020307-schwarz.html

Can't find much else, nothing about her political leanings, although in one article about the Senate's rejection of an "ideologue" - http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-usowen062912700sep06.story - Chuck Schumer calls her a moderate. Here's the quote from that article -

"Moderates like Judge Raggi will sail through the Senate," he said. "Activists and ideologues like judge Owen are going to have a much more difficult voyage."

I'd say that's about all we need to know.

Just a question. When will she take her position. She is now the presiding federal judge in the 4th trial of police officer Charles Schwarz in the Abner Louima case. Since she will sit on the appellate bench that will hear any appeal does she stand aside now at trial or later during appeal? Any legal types on the board, I'd appreciate your input.
