“I haven’t heard about [the mid-argument death],” wrote Stanford Law School professor Orin Kerr on X a few days later. “Does anyone know the details?” Kerr then answered his own question in the thread: “Katyal adds that another lawyer collapsed during an argument and died soon after, which I believe refers to William Pinkney in 1822. … The [death] reference appears to be to U.S. Attorney General Augustus Hill Garland, who had a stroke during argument in 1899, was carried to the clerk’s office, and died there, at least according to this 1908 biography [called A Life of Mr. Garland].”
