Musical Chairs: Don Verrilli Confirmed As Solicitor General
There was a threat of a filibuster, but it was averted. Last night, the Senate confirmed Donald Verrilli Jr. to serve as U.S. solicitor general, by a vote of 72-16.

Quote of the Day: Except Baristas Don't Get 'Venti' Bonuses
[T]hat’s how law clerks are hired. That’s how baristas at Starbucks are hired. You have to ask these open-ended questions because as an employer, you don’t really know… where the pressure points or danger spots in an individual application are. — Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, comparing hiring law clerks to hiring Starbucks baristas, during […] - Sponsored

“Hee-hee, this book of mine is TOO FUNNY! Every time I read the story about Souter drinking all of Luttig’s wine, I completely lose my s**t. I can’t figure out who was the bigger a**hole: Souter for drinking the wine, or Luttig for offering it?” (Lest there be any confusion, the caption above is fictionalized. […] -
