- New: DC Circuit Judge Judith Rogers is taking senior status on September 1, giving Biden a fourth vacancy to fill on the country’s second most powerful court. (Just nominate Elizabeth Prelogar already!)
- Justice Gorsuch—Neil, as I like to call him—chose this bozo as a law clerk, twice.
- No more committee deadlocks. Smooth sailing in 2023 for Dale Ho, Nancy Abudu, Rachel Bloomekatz, Julie Rikelman, and more. Just a hugely consequential turn.
- Judge Julia Smith Gibbons—a federal judge for nearly 40 years—gets straight to the point:
- President Biden intends to nominate Vermont Supreme Court Justice Beth Robinson to the late Judge Peter Hall’s Second Circuit seat, per @HuffPost. Robinson is 56. #appellatetwitter
- NEW: First Circuit Chief Judge Jeffrey Howard, appointed by GWB and who sits in New Hampshire, will go senior on March 31, creating a third vacancy for President Biden to fill. Biden has already appointed one judge to the First Circuit, Gustavo Gelpi.
- Please don't take nine months to nominate her replacement to the D.C. Circuit
- NEW: 3rd Circuit's Ambro to take senior status, giving Biden second vacancy
- New: Fourth Circuit Judge Diana Gribbon Motz, who sits in Maryland and was appointed by President Clinton in 1994, will go senior upon the confirmation of her successor. This will give President Biden a third opportunity to appoint a judge to the Fourth Circuit.
- By a 50-45 vote, the Senate has confirmed Judge Lucy Koh to the Ninth Circuit.
- The Judiciary Committee finally advances the nomination of Dale Ho to the Southern District of New York by an 11-10 vote.
- Congratulations to Eunice Lee on her confirmation to the Second Circuit. She is the fourth Black woman confirmed under Biden, and the second to ever serve on the Second Circuit. #appellatetwitter
