The Feeders of Bush 43:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_04_12-2009_04_18.shtml#1239825228
The [1]list of OT09 Supreme Court clerks over at ATL is further
confirmation that the two leading "feeders" of the Bush 43 judges are
Brett Kavanaugh of the DC Circuit and Jeffrey Sutton of the Sixth
Circuit, with Michael McConnell of the Tenth Circuit coming in third
place.
It will be interesting to see which other Bush 43 judges end up
feeding over time. I don't know the hiring practices of the different
judges, and which of them are trying to hire clerks that are viable at
1 First Street, but I would think Steve Colloton on the Eighth and
Neil Gorsuch on the Tenth are judges to watch, plus perhaps Ray
Kethledge on the Sixth and Debra Livingston on the Second.
Lat's post is also interesting because he reminds me that there
hasn't been any sign so far (at least that I know of) that Justice
Souter has interviewed any clerks for position that would start this
summer.
