He's out! He resigned in September 2017 and has published a book about reforming the federal judiciary. To his credit, one point that frustrated him deeply was the way the courts treated "pro se" practitioners. In other words, those people who represented themselves before the federal courts. So...even a blind hog roots up an acorn once in a while!
