Morning Docket: 02.09.17

* Jeff Sessions has a new job. [CNN] * Beyoncé sued by YouTube star's estate. She'd better hire Becky with the good law degree. [NBC News] * David Boies is taking on human trafficking. Hopefully this fight doesn't require any travel today. [Litigation Daily] * Groups are suing to block Trump's proposal to eliminate two regulations for every one enacted. If you want safe drinking water, hope you like spoiled eggs and no airbags, motherf**kers! [Law360] * Speaking of political shenanigans with the law, the courts have put the kibosh on North Carolina's hilarious lame duck effort to limit the powers of the governor once they realized they lost it. [ABC News] * When lawyers go wrong. [Am Law Daily] * Scott Alvarez, the Fed's top attorney, is retiring. Or "leaving his current job." Let's not pretend there won't be a Biglaw of GC seat waiting for him if he wants it. [MarketWatch] * Is it legal for the president to delete Tweets? Probably not. [Forbes] * Putin signs a law decriminalizing a huge chunk of domestic violence claims. In case you were wondering what's on tap for after midterms. [Fox News]
