        Half of these people are kids of other prominent federal judges.

        Good catch! The ones I count are Phil Alito, Clayton Kozinski, and Porter Wilkinson - who else?

        The David Lat I know will soon have a list of the former Kavanaugh clerks who DID NOT sign this letter.

        I’ll give them a little time; I wouldn’t be surprised to see some late-breaking signatories. ;-)

        Would have been interesting if the 34 former law clerks to Kavanaugh that support him had included any women

        I'm confused - I count (at least) 16 women, based on obviously female names and/or my personal knowledge. More than half of Kavanaugh's clerks on the D.C. Circuit have been women.

        Really nice letter. Look for Amit Agarwal to be nominated to the Eleventh Circuit if Judge Tjoflat were to take senior status.

        I’m unfollowing you because how biased you were against Mrs. Coney Barrett. We needed a strong conservative women and you ran from her. You must of been intimated by her and wanted another white male. Shame on you.

        I don't follow you, but if I did, I would unfollow for your "must of been" in your tweet instead of "must have been."
