Fitton will be one member of a 7 member commission which has oversight authority for District of Columbia courts only, NOT for any federal courts. In other words, not the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where the bizarre Michael Flynn case is still bouncing around.
It is, however, perfect for Fitton, who loves to impress people with overblown claims and selfies in shirts that are several sizes too small. GEOTUS knows how to massage big fragile egos. The many excellent attorneys who do the actual "heavy lifting" of JW's legal work are no doubt rolling their eyes briefly at this announcement, and then getting back to work.

Aww man, I was hoping they got to review appointments for the federal courts too :(
Would've loved to see the look on Sullivan's face if that happened.
Damn was hoping this included FISA court (Roberts).
