Jessica Garland, Merrick Garland's daughter was hired by Justice Kagan as a Clerk, however due to her father's role as AG, she has to give up the clerkship. However, when she was hired in 2020 before the election, no one had a problem with the child of a lower court judge being put in a place where they may have to overrule the decision of their parent. And considering Justice Garland's position, it was likely that his daughter would have had to review one of his decisions.
Neither is a good look.
Meh. A law clerk does overrule anyone. The judge does. And I assume Kagan would have either ethical walled the clerk or recused herself from any appeals where Garland was on the circuit court panel. I agree, though, that having her as a clerk while her dad is the AG would have been a problem.
Maybe daddy can make up for her missing out on that $400K SCOTUS law clerk signing bonus somehow.

I think the bigger scandal is that Merrick Garland should be a SCOTUS Justice. That fiasco was not a good look.

Under no rationale is what was done to Garland acceptable.
