I had posted earlier about Social Security disability cases awaiting hearings being transferred from Charlotte to Seattle. My post was in relation to plans to hold hearings beginning as late as 8:00 p.m. on the East Coast.

With the election coming, it looks like everyone in Congress wants to get on the right side of this issue, or at least appear to be on the right side.
Here is a little excerpt from the article suggesting that night court may become common, possibly in places other than North Carolina:

Is their a surplus of judges in California? I understand that cases from the Milwaukee WI ODAR are being sent to Oakland and San Diego CA.
