Judge Ryan speaks at UVA FedSoc Chapter

Senior Judge Margaret A. Ryan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces was interviewed on October 7, 2021 before the University of Virginia School of Law chapter of the Federalist Society. The transcript can be found here. One notable quote if you were wondering what is happening with the current vacancy on the Court of Appeals: "Right now, actually four judges are sitting in every case and a senior judge is sitting in because they have not nominated a successor for Chief Judge [Scott W.] Stucky. And I understand that Senator [Josh] Hawley has said that he won't -- that he's not going to vote on anyone for the Department of Defense until General [Mark A.] Milley and the SecDef resign, or something like that. So Senator Hawley -- this is actually not the military. It's civilian oversight of the military justice system, and its disruptive. It's disruptive to have senior judges sit in. . . . "
