He is a REAGAN appointee.




Judge Richard Posner, a conservative on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago,
has long been one of the nation's most respected and admired legal thinkers on the right. But in an interview with NPR, he expressed exasperation at the modern Republican Party, and confessed that he has become "less conservative" as a result.

Posner expressed admiration for President Ronald Reagan and the economist Milton Friedman, two pillars of conservatism. But over the past 10 years, Posner said, "there's been a real deterioration in conservative thinking. And that has to lead people to re-examine and modify their thinking."

"I've become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy," he said.

“I’ve become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy,” he said.”

“THEY” (the leftist RINO faction of the Republican party) worked creatively over several decades time to redefine conservatism to an identity more fitting of their liberal values.

This “Judge” due lack of diligence, lack of awareness of his political surroundings has succumbed to their ruse.
