Non-Sequiturs: 03.17.15

* Mitt Romney is going to fight Evander Holyfield. Man, Romney has been beaten by a black guy like that since 2012. Oooh, also, Floyd Mayweather just found his next opponent. [CNN] * Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore's son was arrested and charged with drug possession yesterday and then blamed the media... somehow. I blame the moral vacuum created when they took down the Ten Commandments. [Al.com] * The long-awaited Justice Scalia play is out. It's like Tony and Tina's Wedding with more gun control and abortion. [WTOP] * Professor Baude has a cute theory how the Obama administration could ignore a negative verdict in King v. Burwell. [New York Times] * Not everyone thinks Professor Baude's hypothetical is a serious option. [Concurring Opinions] * Israel has blocked polling in advance of the election to prevent bandwagon voting. Professor Somin evaluates the efficacy of the plan. It probably won't affect the outcome, but if you thought Republicans threw a hissy-fit over the polls in 2008 and 2012, wait until a candidate they really care about loses. [The Volokh Conspiracy / Washington Post] * A nice little maxim (get it?) for the trial lawyer looking to hone their craft. Of course, if you show them a glint of broken glass in the first act, it better be the murder weapon in the second act. [What About Clients?] * Speaking of second acts, this profile of former Skadden partner Harriet Posner discusses life after Biglaw. [A Lawyer's Life]
