A bit of news that gave me a giggle today. I am acquainted with one of Trump's picks for the third circuit, Stephanos Bibas, though it has been many years since I spoke with him.

Heh. I could tell some stories... and I might, privately, to one or two of you. Will think on it.
Here in the public forum, I will just drop this, which he seems to leave out of his Wikipedia entry: he once zealously and wrongly prosecuted a cashier for allegedly stealing 7 dollars. She didn't do it, by the way. The case was so fucking stupid and such a waste of federal resources it made the NY Times. Read it, seriously -- it is entertaining. I still remember the wonderful photo that accompanied it of the cashier triumphantly holding out the $7.

If memory serves, he left the U.S. attorneys office after this and took a year out of his career. Obviously, he bounced back.
In my opinion, he was an extremely bright guy who had very little in the way of personality or judgment. He was always about acquiring as many shiny things on his resume as possible. I guess he's about to acquire another.
