Every time I unwillingly have to refer to the newest Justice, I intend to do so as "Justice Neil 'Merrick Galand' Gorsuch." Stolen seat.
Not-Merrick-Garland would do as well. He should not be listed with other Justices in counts either...

Agree with Dr. Binky 100%. "Justice Not Merrick Garland" works for me.
