Morning Docket: 07.23.18
* As it turns out, this Supreme Court gig was Judge Brett Kavanaugh's from the start. According to a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire released this past weekend, the judge received a call from the White House within hours of Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement announcement being made public. [National Law Journal]
* But hey, at least law students say that Judge Kavanaugh has "great hair!" -- and the Trump team thinks this is a very important fact that the American public ought to know, so it's been republished on the White House website. [New York Times; TIME]
* Per President Trump, taping client conversations is "inconceivable," "totally unheard of," and "perhaps illegal," but his legal team decided to waive attorney-client privilege on the secret recording made by his former lawyer Michael Cohen with regard to possible payments to a Playboy model Karen anyway. [CBS News]
* Matthew Bresette, a T&E attorney who formerly served as the managing partner of Nutter McClellan's Hyannis, Massachusetts, office, recently resigned after being temporarily suspended from practicing law following his misappropriation of funds from the firm and funds from his clients' trusts. [American Lawyer]
* Fordham Law School has helped one of its incoming students invoke the anger of an entire country. In announcing that Kei Komuro, who is engaged to Princess Mako of Japan, would be attending the school, he was referred to as her fiancé, even though their "betrothal ceremony has not yet been held." People are MAD! [New York Times]
Non-Sequiturs: 07.22.18
* Which lawyers write the best Supreme Court amicus briefs? Adam Feldman uses Ross Guberman's BriefCatch tool to find out. [Empirical SCOTUS]
* In advance of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's SCOTUS confirmation hearings, Carrie Severino has this handy roundup of eight important Kavanaugh opinions. [Bench Memos / National Review]
* Speaking of which, Professor Steve Vladeck raises some good possible questions for the nominee about the interaction between Morrison v. Olson and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. [Lawfare]
* I don't think Roe is getting overruled -- but if it were to be overturned, what would happen to state abortion prohibitions that have not been officially repealed? [Josh Blackman]
* On that same subject, Professor Michael Dorf wonders: could Justice Thomas save abortion rights? [Take Care]
* Wherein Jonathan Adler and James Ho (now Judge James Ho) agree with Elie Mystal on the wrongness of that recent Washington Post op-ed about birthright citizenship. [Volokh Conspiracy / Reason]
* Is your legal department a "goat rodeo"? You're not alone, according to Casey Flaherty. [3 Geeks and a Law Blog]
