    eh. I believe they’ve addressed this in both the article and elsewhere.

    Clerks are usually only hired for a single year. clerking for a federal judge is a golden ticket and highly competitive. She could be utterly incompetent, but it’s still a thing that will land on their resume (possibly with qualifications, sure,). Jumping ship is really just not done unless there’s something extreme going on. it’s almost unheard of for 2 clerks to leave in the same year.

    one left after having a kid, apparently. so maybe it was just that. but still. it’s shocking that 2 have left, and the second is “unclear”.
