Merrick Garland is 68, he stepped down as the DC Circuit's Chief Judge in February. The guy he replaced on the DC Circuit, Abner Mikva, left to spend 2 years as White House Counsel. Ken Starr left that bench, too. Not everybody wants to stay a judge until he's 80. https://twitter.com/CarlPaulus/status/1338026159448141824 …

I mean, I assume Garland would probably prefer to stay on the DC Circuit, but it's not crazy to suggest that he could prefer to be Attorney General and retire in his 70s or go spend a few years making easy money as a law firm grey eminence or sitting on corporate boards.

Replying to @CarlPaulus
Only owns Mitch if it opens a DC Cir seat that Biden gets to fill.
