People, people! Can we please return to the business at hand--namely, worshiping at the altar of federal judicial celebrity--and stop speculating about the identity of your undersigned scribe?
According to Robing Room Report, Judge Richard Posner is the "in" feeder judge. Well, it seems that the trend-setting Judge Posner, by ruminating about Article III Groupie (and her gender), has made it fashionable to speculate about A3G's identity. See, e.g., this post at How Appealing, this post at The '04 Wall, and this post at Mediocrity's Co-Pilot.
As she has stated before, Article III Groupie will not offer any comment on this subject beyond her author bio. Of course, A3G is flattered and touched by this apparent interest in who she is--including interest from the eminent Judge Posner, who is not only brilliant but also "a tad bit sexy." Many blogs have anonymous authors, but A3G can think of few such blogs whose authorship has been the subject of so much curiosity.
Article III Groupie thanks her readers for taking an interest in her, despite her lowly status as neither a federal judge nor a Supreme Court clerk. As a member of the Great Unwashed, all A3G can do is stand on the sidewalk and stare longingly through the window of the ice cream parlor, watching the cool kids lick their cones with relish, while salty tears roll down her cheeks. Why anyone should care about the little girl crying outside the ice cream shoppe is a mystery to her.
Although she is honored by the attention, Article III Groupie hopes that we can now return our full and undivided focus to UTR's mission of fawning over federal judges. Just as the embattled Martha Stewart deflected unwanted questions by expressing a desire "to focus on my salad," Article III Groupie says, "I want to focus on my federal judicial superstars!"
Convicted on four counts of ridiculousness,
P.S. To all of her readers who are in the midst of clerkship application season, Article III Groupie wishes you the best of luck! After you start your fabulous clerkships, don't forget your dear Aunt Groupie. Please send her the most succulent tidbits of federal judicial gossip!
