It is not a “two week term”. Wilcox’s term is 4 years of which just shy of 2 years has been expended.
So the appointment will sit until December of 2020.
…eh. Two weeks.
Maybe just forget about it.
As an old embittered alcoholic Lurch look-a-like. I would like to be considered and am thrilled that this New Addams Family reboot is gonna be lit after all.
I think you are correct.
What about Herb Franks? He can say he’s a Republican!
