EVEN WITHOUT the help of Jack Abramoff, by most accounts Glen Nager was a strong candidate for a judgeship on what is widely seen as the nation’s second-most-important court.
Having argued his first Supreme Court case as a 28-year-old assistant to Reagan-era Solicitor General Charles Fried, Nager has long been regarded as something of a legal prodigy. By 2001, 14 years after that first argument, Nager had frequently appeared before the Court and the nation’s other top appeals courts. In private practice, he quickly rose through the ranks of the appellate group at Jones Day, one of the world’s largest law firms. His friends and acquaintances included former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, noted conservative appellate Judge Laurence Silberman, and Michael Carvin, a top Republican lawyer who represented then-presidential candidate George W. Bush in Bush v. Gore.
