* According to Senator Mitch McConnell, Judges Raymond Kethledge and Thomas Hardiman would be the easiest to confirm, so he’s been trying to steer President Trump into choosing one of them to replace Justice Kennedy. On Saturday, the president was still undecided on his pick. Stay tuned for more… [New York Times]
* On Sunday, President Trump still hadn’t picked a judge to replace Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court, but said he was “very close to making a decision.” At this point, we only know that the president has seemingly “los[t] much of his interest in” Judge Kethledge. Tune in tonight for his pick. Who will get his final SCOTUS rose?! [CNN]
* Despite the DOJ’s request for an extension on a deadline to reunite families that were separated at the border, Judge Dana Sabraw said the deadline must be complied with “unless there is an articulable reason.” Apparently “safety” is a concern now, but this would’ve been much easier if children hadn’t been lost in the system. [The Hill]
* In case you missed it, Judge Lynn Hughes of the Southern District of Texas, who is often the benchslapper, once more became the benchslappee when the Fifth Circuit called him out for allegedly making sexist remarks on the bench. [Texas Lawyer]
* Remember Keila Ravelo, the partner who allegedly bilked Hunton & Williams and Willkie Farr out of $7.8 million to lead a life of luxury? Following her November guilty plea on felony charges, she was recently disbarred. [American Lawyer]
