        I think @katie_haun or Eugene @VolokhC, both Californians & former Kozinski clerks, would be great (but would they want it, their lives now are pretty great).

        We already have too many career prosecutors. Unless I hear this one's special, I'm against.

        I'm definitely not a "career prosecutor," having spent just a few years as an AUSA. And I did defense work when at a firm.

        Oh I don’t view this as serious, of course - but it’s very kind of people to entertain it for more than a millisecond.
