Alison Bean Staff Writer “Alison, darling, you can’t kiss people on the cheek in this country as a greeting,” I suddenly remember in my horrified state as I peeled my lips off of my friend’s cheek.

Taylor Allen Editor-In-Chief The Eastern District of North Carolina has had a vacancy in its court since 2005. It is currently the longest standing vacancy in United States history, and there are no clear signs that the seat is about to be filled.
