Kristi Haskins Johnson is a Federalist Society member.
Reardon (2/20)& Lam(11/19) were nominated previously & again today. Neither gives us cause to rejoice.
Reardon is a democrat donor & IMO may be part of a package. At Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Rearden “has litigated complex commercial cases before United States District Courts and State courts throughout the country,” according to the White House.
Saritha Komatireddy clerked for Justice Kavanaugh.
