George Franklin Morris (April 13, 1866 – March 25, 1953) is a former United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

Education and career

Born in Vershire, Vermont, Morris read law to enter the bar in 1891. He was in private practice in Lisbon, New Hampshire from 1891 to 1906, and in Lancaster, New Hampshire from 1906 to 1921. He was also the County Solicitor for Grafton County, New Hampshire from 1897 to 1901, and a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1905.[1]

Federal judicial service

On October 20, 1921, Morris was nominated by President Warren G. Harding to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire vacated by Judge Edgar Aldrich. Morris was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 25, 1921, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on April 30, 1943, serving in that capacity until his death March 25, 1953, in North Carolina.[1]

gollark: We could use Lua. Lua is very easy to sandbox.

gollark: Why did states happen in the *first* place if they aren't good and there's a stable alternative?

gollark: > Collectivization will take place naturally as soon as state coercion is over, the workers themselveswill own their workplaces as the capitalists will no longer have any control over them. This iswhat happened during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, during which workers and farmers seized andmanaged the means of production collectively. For those capitalists who had a good attitude towardsworkers before the revolution, there was also a place - they joined the horizontal labor collectivesUm. This seems optimistic.

gollark: > "Legally anyone can start their own business. Just launch a company!”. These words oftenmentioned by the fans of capitalism are very easy to counter, because they have a huge flaw. Namely,if everyone started a company, who would work for all these companiesThis is a bizarre objection. At the somewhat extreme end, stuff *could* probably still work fine if the majority of people were contracted out for work instead of acting as employees directly.

gollark: The hierarchical direct democracy thing it describes doesn't seem like a very complete or effective coordination mechanism, and it seems like it could easily create unfreedom.
