* Neil Armstrong Dial dreamed of going to space, but instead he went to Foster Pepper in Seattle. [Seattle Times]
* Ex-SEC head Christopher Cox is heading to Bingham McCutchen. [Bloomberg via Dealbreaker]
* Slaughterhouse rules no more? [SCOTUSblog]
* We gave you a special Sonia Sotomayor Weekend Non-Sequitur posting, but we have yet two more links to share. The hearings were a disappointment to liberals hoping to get a “liberal Scalia,” says the Washington Post, and asks: “Did the hearings reveal a true absence of liberal ideas in the 55-year-old judge President Obama chose to fill his first Supreme Court vacancy? Or did they reflect sheer political pragmatism by someone, coached by White House staff members and following the model of other recent nominees, seeking to maximize support by avoiding controversy? ” [Washington Post]
* This is an excellent moment at which to have Jeffrey Toobin explain the “Bork effect.” [New Yorker]
