Non-Sequiturs: 01.07.15

* This editorial must have been so much fun to write. Local newspaper tees off on petty local politician who threatened to sue them for using his name without his permission. Like, in a story about him. Welcome to First Amendment 101, dude. Professor Volokh has some fun commentary. [The Frederick News-Post] * A new Congress gets down to business today, and they begin by proposing a solution to the biggest issue in America by floating a national abortion ban. Well, they have to talk about something now that Obama's got the Dow around 18,000. [ThinkProgress] * Not really legal, but Archer's back. Holly Anderson talks to the executive producer about this season. [Grantland] * Harold Hamm's ex-wife rejected a $974 million check. I just want to know what purchase she wants to make that has her saying, "Eh, I've got to pass on that $974 million." [The Oklahoman] * Keeping politics out of King v. Burwell is like making a Fast & Furious movie without Vin Diesel. Sure you can do it, but it's gonna suck. [The New Republic] * What the future holds for "just-in-time" workers like Alex Rich. [Law and More] * The minds behind the Notorious R.B.G. meme have a book deal! And it's a Justice Ginsburg biography. Bring it on. [New York Magazine] * David keeps on touring America talking about Supreme Ambitions (affiliate link) -- and also much, much more (including revelations about his personal life). This time it's an interview with WHYY in Philly. [WHYY] https://soundcloud.com/whyy-public-media/david-lats-supreme-ambitions-legal-blogs-and-the-supreme-court
