Well, Ronnie was an old horse-trader, after all. He had a good working relationship with Tip. This judgeship could have been a favor for getting Tip to back some piece of legislation. All of Washington knew that the two old Irish storytellers would get together in the evening with a bottle of Bushmill's.
