Education and career

Born on November 20, 1885, in Mercer County, Illinois, Phillips received a Juris Doctor in 1908 from the University of Michigan Law School. He entered private practice in Raton, New Mexico Territory (State of New Mexico from January 6, 1912) from 1910 to 1923. He was an assistant district attorney in the Eighth Judicial District of New Mexico from 1912 to 1916. He was general attorney of the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Company from 1917 to 1923. He was a member of the New Mexico Senate from 1920 to 1923.[1]

Federal judicial service

Phillips was nominated by President Warren G. Harding on February 28, 1923, to the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, to a new seat authorized by 42 Stat. 837. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 3, 1923, and received his commission the same day. His service terminated on April 29, 1929, due to his elevation to the Tenth Circuit.[1]

Phillips was nominated by President Herbert Hoover on April 18, 1929, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, to a new seat authorized by 45 Stat. 1346. He was confirmed by the Senate on April 29, 1929, and received his commission the same day. He was a member of the Conference of Senior Circuit Judges (now the Judicial Conference of the United States) from 1940 to 1948, and a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1948 to 1955. He served as Chief Judge from 1948 to 1956. He assumed senior status on January 1, 1956. His service terminated on November 14, 1974, due to his death.[1]

Supreme Court consideration

Phillips was considered one of the final six prospects to replace Fred M. Vinson on the United States Supreme Court, but was not chosen due to his age at the time.[2]

gollark: We determined that you are to, however.
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Make 127414 macrons/second.
gollark: Oh, that explains a lot.
gollark: > Heavpoot was working on it.<|endoftext|>I think so.<|endoftext|>I think the best way to do this is to have people *add* everyone's computers somewhere.<|endoftext|>Maybe the computers are just done in software.<|endoftext|>Idea: copy a device which can remotely update things, and have them *too* easily.<|endoftext|>I think the practice of having computers themselves is that a sane device is very slow and has all computers run terminals and whatnot can't do those.<|endoftext|>Or at least a screen window manager or something.<|endoftext|>Idea: a CC-like system where the screen can be icons, or an entity sensor it.<|endoftext|>The screen can't automatically display the icons properly, but the screen is a bit weird.<|endoftext|>I think OLED would make it draw terminals okay.<|endoftext|>At least, it's not OLED.<|endoftext|>Well, OLED doesn't make it good.<|endoftext|>If they make it OLED or something it may not work.<|endoftextIt does NOT like OLED!
