bill clinton and he was president obama's nominee to the u.s. supreme court. what i found was striking. in the 12 years you've been on the d.c. circuit, of all the matters that you and chief judge garland had voted on together, that you voted together 93% of the time. not only that of the 28 published opinions that you've authored where chief judge garland was on the panel, he joined 27 out of the 28 opinions you issued when you were on a panel together. in other words, he joined 96% of the panel opinions that you've written when he was on a panel with you and the same is true in the reverse. of the 30 published opinions that chief garland has written on a panel, you've joined 28 out of 30 of them. over 93% of those opinions.
