Didn’t Barrett come from 7th? She’s already had to recuse herself from handling some 7th circuit petitions during conference...how does that work now? I guess a few of the other justices covered circuits they came from so I’m assuming it’s a non issue that I’m overthinking.

Yea, Katie, good question but as long as they were not involved in a case, recusal is not required. Note that Kagan sat in on ACA cases although she was involved with Obama admin rollout...and that was proper. This arrangement should work fine IMHO.

@AdoniasRdeCNeto O que pode implicar esse rearranjo nos recursos que chegam à Suprema Corte dos tribunais de circuito? -
Tiago, me especifica mais isso aí.

To my mostly ignorant eyes the only circuits without a "home town" connection to their justices are the 6th, 8th, and 9th. Do Kavanaugh and/or Kagan have ties there though? (I fully realize not every circuit can have one on a court of only 9 people.)
-
Not that I'm aware of. I always assumed Kagan's assignment to the 9th was a sign of Roberts' trust in her.

Thomas only gets one assignment that speaks volumes.
