Will be curious to see how many TX judges (if any) take senior status over the next few months
Mike Fragoso@mike_frags
Let’s say you’re a circuit judge in Texas. Perhaps you’re a Bushy-establishment type in Austin, married to the lion of the Texas bar who’s on the road warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to our institutions. Who do you want with a say in your successor? John Cornyn or Ken Paxton? Let’s say you’re a different circuit judge in Texas. Perhaps you’re a Bushy-establishment type in Austin who’d like your seat to stay in Mississippi. Do you want to go now when John Cornyn will work with his ally Roger Wicker to keep the seat in Mississippi? Or do you want to wait for Ken Paxton to join Ted Cruz—perhaps on Judiciary!—to demand the seat be moved to Texas in a narrowly divided Senate? Paxton may lose. But he also may win! If Judges Richman and Southwick leave, well, now, they can avoid having him pick their replacements. Senate terms are long.

Interesting that Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh attended Warsh's swearing in this morning considering SCOTUS is weighing whether Trump can fire a member of the Fed Board

Tuberville says that Republicans asked Blanche if the anti weaponization fund will be used to pay people who assaulted police officers. Blanche told them that it would not, which is more than he said to the Appropriations Committee

DOJ has been comparing the new "weaponization" fund to the Obama-era Keepseagle settlement
Josh Gardner, lead counsel for DOJ in Keepseagle, just published a piece via @Justice_CXN saying the comparison is "inapt and does not support its justification for the settlement"
