  Summary

  Beryl waits for the punchline, fingers primly interlaced together. Ketanji internally counts to three. "So," she starts, "I’ve been hearing things from the courthouse grapevine."

  "Can I get you anything, Ketanji? Tea?"

  "I think I’m good."

  "It’s not optional."

  The year is 2016. Chief Judge Beryl Howell may or may not be getting promoted to the D.C. Circuit. Her colleagues weigh in, whether Howell wants to hear it or not.
