Ketanji Brown Jackson presents an unusual career trajectory for a Supreme Court Justice or, indeed, for a lawyer. After clerking on the Supreme Court for Justice Breyer, she became an associate at a prestigious law firm. There’s nothing unusual about that.
While reading this, I was reminded of what Tribe said about Sotomayor. (Far more importantly, I'm delighted to see Paul back at it--a fact I learned only moments ago from a comment posted at, of all places, Powerline.)
Thank you, JT. I didn't mind a couple of months off from writing after nearly 20 years, but I'm delighted to be at it again.
Dave, I'd rather not speculate about how Jackson got the clerkship.
Paul -- good to see you in the ring again. As a Powerline fan, I've missed your commentary there. Best of luck in your new endeavor here. Cheers!!

Well, how did she get that SCOTUS clerkship?
