Morning Docket: 01.09.08
* Nobody puts baby in a corner. The empress strikes back, scoring an upset victory in the New Hampshire primary. HLS 1, YLS 1. [Washington Post; New York Times]
* Supreme Court hands down a “mind-numbing” ruling (per Tony Mauro). The early opinions in a Term are always boring. But at least this one has an interesting debate about stare decisis. [U.S. Supreme Court (PDF) via The BLT (via How Appealing)]
* Walter Dellinger and Sri Srinivasan think the Indiana voter I.D. law is pretty worthless. But will the SCOTUS see things the same way? [Slate]
* A federal grand jury is looking into the MySpace suicide case. [Los Angeles Times via WSJ Law Blog]
* In the typical case, a big media company goes after a little person for copyright violation. But now some ordinary folks are turning the tables, suing corporations for commercial use of amateur photographs posted on the web. [Washington Post]
* So it’s not exactly the Wynn or the Bellagio. But this casino in a trailer, open for just eight hours, will help a property owner retain a valuable zoning designation allowing gambling. [New York Times]

Did Billy quit?
10:19 - Yeah, why is Lat doing Morning Docket himself? What about B Clerker?
P.S. B Clerker PWNS.
It's not "the" Billagio, it's just Billagio. I guess ATL stays at the Golden Spike.
11:57: No, I have heard it referred to as "the" Bellagio, many times. You need to brush up on your knowledge of luxury hotels.
Then maybe you wouldn't misspell their names. Note that it is spelled "Bellagio," with an "e" and not an "i."
