Is there no one else interested in upholding the laws of our land? After the events of term 1, I was expecting another 7-person race.

Consider this a thread bump, so that all who are nominated here will know.
 
I accept my nomination, and hope that this time I don't have to through myself out!

Question for all Judicial nominees:

Have you posted your viewpoint/analysis in the current batch of Judicial Review's? If you are a current member of the Judiciary, have you posted any questions in the current batch of JR's?
