* Cass Sunstein could share a U-Haul with Elena Kagan for the move down to Washington, D.C. Here are some reactions to Sunstein’s appointment to “regulatory czar” in the OMB. Richard Epstein says “it’s one thing to start a debate, which is what you do in academia, and it’s another to start a program, which is what you do in government.” Hiss! [The Boston Globe]
* Bankruptcy judges are likely to get much more powerful soon. Congress is getting more serious about a law allowing the restructuring of mortgage debt in a bankruptcy. [Reuters]
* Prominent civil rights attorney Charles Morgan Jr. who argued for “one man, one vote” before SCOTUS died yesterday. [Washington Post]
* Washington lawyer Cyrus Mehri joins the N.A.A.C.P.’s crusade for more diversity on Madison Avenue. [New York Times]

Will somebody post some Cahill layoff information already?
Thirdsty?
Chaill laidoff poster #2.
I mean, Chail laid-off poster number TTTwo.
Rumor has it that Debevoise bumped its associates up the pay scale yesterday (no pay freeze). Will there be a post on this?

McCain claimed he helped invent BlackBerry (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/16/mccain.blackberry/)

One man, two votes? I like the sound of that. Of course, I'm from Chicago.
Cass is a brilliant Admin Law scholar and knows as much about it as any human on the planet, living or dead - but I shudder to think of him as an actual Administrator....I fear for his poor staff....

The SBA President agrees with commenter number 11. Perhaps good ole Cass will show his mettle in the halls of power, but if not, the Republicans will be sharpening the knives.

Epstein notoriously disliked Sunstein. I beleive the feeling was mutual. This is a long-running thing w/ those two ...
