Amy Howe and Katie Barlow talk on the SCOTUStalk podcast about possible President Biden picks for the next U.S. Solicitor General, and for a U.S. Supreme Court justice if there’s a vacancy. California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger’s name is prominently mentioned for both positions, which is nothing new. (See here and links therein.)
On the podcast, Howe says that Kruger — who served six years as an Assistant to the Solicitor General and as Acting Principal Deputy Solicitor General, and who argued 12 cases in the high Court — was “regarded as a rock star in the SG’s office.”
[Update: Justice Kruger reportedly has declined Solicitor General job.]
