charlsiekate, Garland hasn't had a hearing, and McConnell says he won't. That's even more embarrassing. And Garland is still a judge, anyway. Worst confirmation, I think, was Alito. So hostile, his wife started to cry. Bork. Brandies (and yes, I am well aware the process operated differently a century ago).

While not a judicial nominee the ambassadorial nominee who died waiting on her hearing might have something to say about how long the process takes.

Ok, good run for the board lately Bob. Now don't stop. Gaidin, gary, Ace Midnight, mamaru, Judicially Inclined, Cheesy, luna, marathon, Rusty and more than a few other board folks are all just waiting on you. I guarantee each will answer, say yes and be a great get for the agency. And, how bout some love for Tupelo? Five empty offices. Mighty lonely around here.... Everything that Funky said. As for Tupelo, I gave it some love last weekend - or at least I drove through and then went down Veterans Boulevard just so I could see the Elvis house. I did not stop at the ODAR, as I was not sure anyone would be home. As is the case with other small Southern towns, an ALJ could do quite well there.

You all may already know this, but my source indicated that the reassignment list was just sent in last week. Whether this plays any role in the placement process I have no idea, but thought I would pass along the info for everyone to think about.....

As we approach lunch time on the East coast, it's been a quiet a.m. I see that 34 have voted in the city poll (including an unconfirmed Peoria as I type) and 26 voted in the NOR poll. Acknowledging a few may have obtained deferrals to July, I wonder if June is full and TBTB are re-hashing the July selections. I base this WAG on the assumptions that a full class for June is 40, and that there are some selectees that know nothing of the Board. Assuming 26 NOR votes is correct, 26/40 = 65%, and I don't think there is a presumption that 65% on the current register are on this Board.
My posting reminds me, I need to practice patience, stop focusing on this, and get back to my job that actually pays me.

I've gotta say, I've been secretly wondering the same over the last day or so--June should be close to maximum capacity at this point. Anyone with the goods on whether TPTB plan to just keep rolling on forward for July hires? I don't believe I've seen this definitively addressed yet.

I spoke with my new best friend in FC about 15 minutes ago and I said yes as soon as he said his name. I will obviously vote in the polls.
Best day in a very very very long time.
He said that their were many more calls to make and that they were going to do the July calls at the same time.
Now I need to go jump up and down some.
