And they're ideological now, which wasn't the case previously. In June, someone's out of office proudly stated that they were not in the office that day because of a declared holiday to celebrate the second anniversary of Dobbs.

And this is just the run of the mill stuff, not the whole-senior-staff-resigned-en-masse-and-then-sued-and-got-a-$3-million-settlement-which-kicked-off-an-impeachment-by-fellow-republicans-thing. Which I'm guessing is a selling point.

Otoh, as far as I know, his scandals are run-of-the-mill corruption scandals and not sex scandals, unless you count his wife being a state senator who led the charge to not convict him in the impeachment. There may have been sexual services exchanged there.

On LinkedIn I got a job opportunity for a Trial Judge position at the Patent Office- remote.

Are you not reading the news whoever generates the USPTO’s help wanted ads?
