News here. Srinivasan was previously awarded the John Roberts/Elena Kagan Award for the D.C. Circuit Hopeful Nominated in the Last Few Months of A Presidential Term With No Chance of Confirmation This Late (But A Very Promising Future Next Time). It looks like this may be the next time. If so, it will be excellent news. Srinivasan has a sterling reputation; he is highly respected by liberals and conservatives alike. As VC blogger John Elwood has written: “I had the privilege of working with Sri in the Solicitor General’s Office, and he is profoundly decent, smart as hell, and a straight shooter.” If confirmed, John concludes, Srinivasan would be “a credit to the bench.”
