The short answer is I don’t know if I’ll continue tweeting. I haven’t thought a lot about it. Certainly the frequency and content would change.

— Justice Don Willett of the Texas Supreme Court, a judicial nominee for the Fifth Circuit, responding to a question asked during his confirmation hearing by Senator John Cornyn about the judge’s prolific Twitter account. Willett was recognized by the Texas House of Representatives as the Tweeter Laureate of Texas in 2015, but his usually lively account has been silent ever since he was nominated for a seat on the appellate bench.
