United States Court of Federal Claims
Confirmed July 9, 2003

Victor
Victor J. Wolski

Victor Wolski was nominated by President Bush to the Court of Federal Claims, which decides whether federal environmental and other laws result in constitutional takings. Mr. Wolski has spent most of his legal career promoting the Pacific Legal Foundation's extreme "takings" challenges to environmental protections.

In 1999, he told National Journal that "every single job I've taken since college has been ideologically orientated, trying to further my principles - limited government, individual liberty and property rights."
