Daniel Anthony Manion (born February 1,1942) is an American lawyer,politician,and jurist serving as an inactive senior United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit [2] whose chambers were in South Bend,Indiana. [3]
The elder son of Clarence and Virginia Manion,Daniel Manion received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1964. [2] His father,Clarence Manion (1896–1979),was dean of Notre Dame Law School and president of the Manion Forum,a conservative radio and television program. His mother,Virginia ("Gina") O'Brien Manion,was a well-known owner and trainer of Arabian horses. [4]
At Notre Dame,Manion was a three-time champion in the Bengal Bouts,a boxing tournament begun by legendary football coach Knute Rockne. [5] Following graduation,Manion served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War,when he was deployed.
He was appointed the director of industrial development for the Indiana Department of Commerce in 1968. While serving in this position,Manion attended night school at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law,receiving his Juris Doctor in 1973. After a brief stint in the state attorney general's office as a clerk and then a deputy state attorney general,Manion entered the private practice of law,where he remained until his confirmation as a federal judge. [2] He also served as an Indiana state senator from 1978 to 1982. [2]
On February 21,1986,President Ronald Reagan nominated Manion to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit,to a seat vacated by Judge Wilbur Frank Pell Jr. In a radio address to the nation,President Reagan stated,"I know [Daniel Manion] to be a person who has the ability and determination to become the kind of judge the American people want in the federal courts;one who believes in the rule of law,who reveres the Constitution,and whose sense of fairness and justice is above reproach." [6]
The ABA rated Manion "qualified/unqualified." Criticism of him as a nominee came for spelling and grammatical errors in legal briefs submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee and for his support for the John Birch Society. He became the first of President Reagan's judicial nominees to fail to win support from the Judiciary Committee. [7] The nomination was controversial; [4] Manion was confirmed 48-46 on June 26,1986 and reaffirmed 50-49 on July 23,1986 with Vice President George Bush casting a tie-breaking vote. [2] [4] Manion received his commission on July 24,1986. [2] He assumed senior status on December 18,2007. [2]
