Some of the district judges were advanced to the new circuit judgeships, and their places filled by the district attorneys. These were "nominated for promotion," as the message to the Senate termed it. Not only would this presumably hostile force be in Jefferson's camp, but their salaries would seriously interfere with his plans for retrenchment.
Those who did not know Langdon intimately suggested that "this fellow ought to be 'taken care of. What in God's name does he want? A committee chairmanship? An ambassadorship for some Mississippi charcoal burner? A couple of Federal judgeships for his friends? Well, whatever it is, give it to him and get him in with the rest of us!" Again it was Peabody who had the deciding say.
He enticed me away from home by a trick, promising me an island, which I am still waiting for." "May evil islands choke thee, thou detestable Sancho," said the niece; "What are islands? Is it something to eat, glutton and gormandiser that thou art?" "It is not something to eat," replied Sancho, "but something to govern and rule, and better than four cities or four judgeships at court."
To show the veritable depths of baseness to which the so-called National Movement had fallen it need only be stated that it was charged against their official organ The Freeman's Journal that no less than eighteen members of its staff had obtained positions of profit under the Crown, including a Lord Chancellorship, an Under-secretaryship, Judgeships, Crown Prosecutorships, University Professorships, Resident Magistracies, Local Government Inspectorships, etc.

Fully 22 percent of all my appointees are women, and I nominated 41 of the 46 women who sit on the Federal bench today.
He gains, daily, renown and riches in his able conduct of affairs. Hardin's revenue rises. He despises one of the State judgeships easily at his hand. As his star mounts, his young neophyte, Maxime Valois, shares his toils and enjoys his training. Under his guidance he launches out on the sea of that professional legal activity, which is one continued storm of contention.
affirmative action has been pursued aggressively; more blacks, Hispanics and women have been appointed to senior government positions and to judgeships than at any other time in our history; the ERA ratification deadline was extended to aid the ratification effort; and minority business procurement by the Federal government has more than doubled;
Such a project hardly seems a masterpiece of ethics or political economy, but it was hailed with rapture by the needy monarch.
