Focused, Professional, and Tenacious

Rob was a powerful ally from day one. Collecting on a debt is ridiculously hard, and having a partner who knows the most direct path to your goals is more than worth it. Rob was communicative throughout, set my expectations appropriately, and often went above and beyond my expectations.

Knows his field...and others!

Rob was very helpful, got right to the point and told me exactly what I needed to do. Worked out well and would recommend him to anyone!

What is the least powerful branch of government?

Throughout much of the history of the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States was clearly the least powerful branch of the government, and nominations to that body, although important, were not the source of great political controversy as they are today. Until the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist in 2005, the composition of the Supreme Court had remained unchanged since 1994, the second longest time period without a membership change in U.S. history (the longest having been from 1812 to 1823).

What happened to the Gang of 14 deal?

At the end of the 109th Congress, the Gang of 14 deal expired. On November 7, 2006, the Democrats retook control in the 110th Congress. Starting in January 2007, they possessed a 51—49 majority in the Senate. As the new Senate majority, the Democrats easily blocked several conservative appellate judicial nominees without resorting to the filibuster. Conservative appellate nominees like Peter Keisler, Robert J. Conrad and Steve A. Matthews were blocked in committee and never given a hearing. If a Supreme Court justice had died or chosen to retire during the 110th Congress, it would have been easy for the Democrats to have blocked his proposed replacement in committee, or even by a party-line vote on the Senate floor, if it somehow came to that. As it happened, no Supreme Court justice died or retired during the 110th Congress.
