Judge Jackson 80 and still on the West Virginia bench
West Virginia Federal Judge John J. Jackson aged over 80 faces a possible ouster under a new bill introduced December 13, 1904 by Indiana Representative James E. Watson. The act would retire any judge 80 or older who does not resign, replacing him with a successor while preserving salary. Jackson, the oldest federal judge, has refused to retire, drawing party pressure from Indiana congressmen. The measure, now before the House Judiciary Committee, could impact only Jackson for an indefinite period.
