* Governor Chris Christie was worried America didn't realize he has no respect for his constituents and is a complete fake, so he's publicly rooting for the Dallas Cowboys over any of the three teams real New Jersey residents root for. He's also possibly violating ethics rules. [The Legal Blitz / ATL Redline] * Screech is going to trial. [Associated Press / Yahoo! News] * New dean at USC. Who is it? [USC Gould School of Law] * As the Supreme Court stares down the barrel of some highly political cases, will Chief Justice Roberts live up to his promise of non-partisanship?
