Terrence W. Boyle
Federal judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina - appointed by Ronald Reagan
began his career in the U.S. Congress as Minority Counsel for the House Subcommittee on Banking and Currency and as Legislative Assistant to Senator Jesse Helms
prone to granting summary judgment or dismissal requests, especially in civil rights cases, thus denying litigants a full and fair opportunity to have their day in court
"Has Difficulty With Settled Law"
known for his "clear misinterpretation of the law or his failure to follow precedent"
nominated to US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, however, his nomination was adamantly opposed and he was not confirmed
nominated again by President George Bush Jr. in 2001 - his nomination was adamantly opposed and was never brought to a vote on the floor of the Senate
"During his tenure as a district court judge, Boyle has already tried to turn back the clock by effectively overruling key federal laws and precedents that protect fundamental civil and constitutional rights."
...strongly opposed by Democrats and liberals as a staunch foe of civil rights...
"an opponent of civil rights" - John Edwards
"shouldn't be a trial court Judge" - Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
