* Donald Trump gives on-the-record comments to a blawg (albeit an MSM-affiliated one). The man is a total media whore. But he’s the little brother of a certain fabulous Third Circuit judge, so we forgive him. [WSJ Law Blog] (Check out the photos at right. We see a definite family resemblance. Which may or may […] -

Proof That We Have Readers in Red States
Not all ATL readers live in big coastal cities. Check out this comment, by “Leona” (which we kinda loved): I really enjoy reading Althouse, she is conversative [sic] definitely but I would like her to be more christian friendly. She supports gay marriage which I find disgusting. But she loves our president which is great. […] - Sponsored

Vote Ann Althouse for Grande Conservative Blogress Diva
We love contests, and we love divas. So of course we couldn’t resist this poll. An interesting line-up of nominees. We’re surprised that Michelle Malkin and Kathryn Lopez/K-Lo, both of whom have cult followings, aren’t doing better. We endorse Professor Althouse — and not just because she’s the most law-oriented blogger in the mix. Why […]

Congratulations to Yul Kwon -- Who Says You Don't Learn Anything at Yale Law School?
Apparently you learn how to survive on a desert island. And how to beat out your fellow competitors for a $1 million cash prize, on one of America’s biggest reality television shows. Yul Kwon, the newly crowned winner of “Survivor: Race Wars” “Survivor: Cook Islands,” is a lawyer, former Second Circuit law clerk, and 2000 […] -

Supplemental Non-Sequiturs: 12.12.06
Here’s a delightful potpourri of fun and interesting links. We planned to write about these items in more depth, but just never got around to it. So now we’re just going to air them in these pages. We’ve been saving them up for a while, so some are a bit dated (although some are new). […] -

Harold and Linda, Sittin' in a Tree...
We’re delighted that our scoop about Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh pushing Linda Greenhouse over Justice Samuel Alito for the YLS Award of Merit has been picked up so widely. It even made the pages of the Holy Trinity of the Right-of-Center Blawgosphere: Instapundit, Volokh Conspiracy (Jonathan Adler), and Althouse. As noted, our transcript […] -

ATL Poll Results: Your LEAST Favorite Supreme Court Justice
After finding out your Favorite Supreme Court Justice (answer: Justice Scalia), we asked about your LEAST Favorite Supreme Court justice. And the result was surprising, at least to us. Voter turnout was massive, with over 6,000 votes cast. Maybe everyone’s in a voting frame of mind, with Election Day so close. Here’s how you voted: […] -

"[E]verything That Is Stupid Is Not Unconstitutional.''
Ann Althouse raises a potential quibble with the above quip, made by Justice Antonin Scalia in a public appearance this past weekend. She writes: It would be better to say “not everything that is stupid is unconstitutional.” “Everything that is stupid is not unconstitutional” can be read to mean that every stupid thing is constitutional, […] - Sponsored

Supplemental Non-Sequiturs: 10.20.06
Now that we have the able assistance of Stella Q for Non-Sequiturs — check out her great post from yesterday — we have no place for random links that catch our eye, but don’t merit full treatment in a separate post. Blogospheric leftovers, if you will. So here’s a special midday “bonus edition” of Non-Sequiturs: […] -

A Bit More On Justice Breyer, and Judicial 'Rock Stars'
It’s another amazingly beautiful day here in New York, and we’re blogging from Bryant Park. The temperature is in the low 70’s, there’s not a cloud in the sky, and a slight breeze is blowing. Life is good. We don’t have much time — we’re about to run off to another New Yorker Festival event […] -

* We were taught growing up that when someone pays you a compliment, the appropriate response is gratitude. So thank you, QuizLaw! Unlike those grumpy feminists — e.g., Jessica Valenti, adversary of Ann Althouse — we soak up compliments graciously. And we enjoy being objectified. Toward that end, here’s a shirtless photo of us.

[Althouse; Feministing; Althouse; Feministing] But just out of curiosity, ATL readers, what’s your first reaction to this photo of Bill Clinton and a group of bloggers?

(But by the standards of Biglaw partners of his generation, he’s in the 95th percentile — assuming he typed this all himself.) [WSJ Law Blog] […]
