Morning Docket: 04.03.12

* I love this. Since the police didn’t do its job, it falls to the internet to put George Zimmerman on trial. [Slate]

* The Ninth Circuit smacked down affirmative action, again. This time they wiggled out of Grutter with a straight face. I’d be more shocked, but the Court is about to use Fisher to take down the whole thing. [Wall Street Journal]

* Well, I think we can officially call Ryan Leaf the biggest bust of all time. [USA Today]

* In my opinion, this looks like an actual case of government corruption — not the “they’re wasting our money” BS you hear from people who don’t understand the system, but actual, full-out graft. [Las Vegas Sun]

* I agree that state authorized gambling, like the lottery, is a regressive tax. But if you’re going to make gambling illegal for the masses, then you should also make it illegal for wall street. But I’m not sure politicians understand that there is barely any difference between internet gambling and running a hedge fund. [Huffington Post]

* Olbermann v. Current over email. Mmm… dirty laundry. [New York Post]
