Judicial Birthday Watch: AMK and AK
In this new UTR feature, Judicial Birthday Watch, Article III Groupie will send birthday greetings to your favorite favorite judges. Please e-mail A3G to alert her of any upcoming judicial birthdays. Interesting or humorous birthday anecdotes, including scandalous tales of judicial birthday blow-outs, are especially welcome.
Today is a very special day for two judicial hotties:
(1) Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the Supreme Court, who turns 68 today; and
(2) Justice Kennedy's former law clerk, Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit (and Superhottieville), who turns 54 today.
It's a remarkable coincidence that these two judges, who are quite close, have the same birthday (and even the same initials, sort of). Could they be the same person? For those of you who are curious, AK clerked for AMK on the Ninth Circuit from 1975 to 1976. At the time, Judge Kozinski was 25 and Justice Kennedy was 39.
"Underneath Their Robes" and Article III Groupie wish both of these distinguished jurists very happy birthdays! (Or, as they say in Judge Kozinski's native Romania, "La multi ani!")
Birthday hugs and kisses,
P.S. Thanks to De Novo for bringing AK's birthday to Article III Groupie's attention, in this post. And thanks to AK for pointing out AMK's birthday.
