2/ I appended this to the end of my earlier thread, but since I really can't make heads or tails of why Twitter displays some of my tweets widely and others not at all, I'm tweeting it out this way too.
3/ The key points:
(a) Justice Kagan hired Jessica Garland BEFORE #MerrickGarland was AG (and before @JoeBiden was elected president.
(b) Jessie Garland won't clerk for Justice Kagan at #SCOTUS during Merrick Garland's tenure as AG.

(b) Jessie Garland won't clerk for Justice Kagan at #SCOTUS during Merrick Garland's tenure as AG.
4/ This strikes me as a very sensible solution to an unforeseen situation — and much better than trying to have Jessica Garland recuse as clerk from every matter before #SCOTUS involving @TheJusticeDept.
