Two members of the U.S. Supreme Court were on hand this afternoon to formally bid farewell to Patricia Millett, a longtime high court advocate who was recently confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. said that while Millett’s swearing in Friday afternoon marked a “happy day” for her friends and family, the D.C. Circuit and the United States, it was not completely happy for Roberts and his fellow justices, who looked forward to hearing Millett argue.
