Check out this posting, currently on the "Missed Connections" section of Craigslist:

My words come to you by ‘Writ of Certiorari’ from my heart. I have an ‘Opinion’: You are without a doubt the most perfect girl on the Hill. I look forward to argument days just so I can see your smile and say hello as you pass me in the Courtroom hall.

Some days you are in your Clerk uniform tails and some days you are not, but you always look stunning. When I see you across the way during arguments it is hard to concentrate on keeping the record.

Now that this session of Oral arguments is over I am bummed because I never really had the chance to talk with you. So here on Craigslist I am bringing an ‘Appeal’ to take you out to coffee sometime?

On 'habeas review', my heart is doing time and you have been found guilty.:0)

C.R.

But this CL poster is not in search of a Supreme Court law clerk, since the object of his desire wears a "Clerk uniform -- tails." The law clerks generally wear standard business attire.

So which SCOTUS employees show up to oral argument in tails? A knowledgeable source tells us:

The reference may be to the Marshal of the Court Pamela Talkin, who does wear tails to oral argument. See here (Talkin describing her uniform as "a formal morning suit with tails, pinstriped slacks, and a vest").

The Clerk of the Court is William Suter. He also wears tails to oral argument.

But Bill Suter is a man. And our lovesick poster is an "m4w" (man seeking woman).

Oyez, oyez! Pam Talkin, it seems that you have a secret -- and considerably younger (30) -- admirer. And he's very interested in "drawing near" and "giving attention" to you, at a neighborhood cafe.

Update: One commenter wonders whether the woman in question might work in the Solicitor General's office, since the morning coat is the official uniform of that office. But we're not so sure, since (1) there are very few women in the SG's office right now, and (2) our understanding is that female members of the SG's office generally wear dark suits to oral argument (as opposed to the full-blown morning coat outfit of their male colleagues).

But look, we can't rule out this possibility. Does anyone familiar with the current membership of the SG's office have thoughts on this matter?

Further Update: Check out this excellent comment:

Denise McNerney, the Merits Clerk, is often in the courtroom in tails. And she's very attractive. It is highly unlikely that Deanne Maynard, Patricia Millett, or Lisa Blatt from the SG's Office is the object of the Craigslist poster's affection. None wears tails. All are married.
