Nomination and judicial career
On February 21, 1986, President Ronald Reagan nominated Manion for the bench, to a seat vacated by Wilbur Frank Pell, Jr.. In a radio address to the nation, Reagan stated, "I know [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."[5]
The nomination was controversial,[3] but Manion was confirmed on June 26, 1986,[3][1] and received his commission on July 24, 1986.[1]
Manion assumed senior status on December 18, 2007,[1] but continues to hear cases regularly.
