Morning Docket: 02.22.18
* Only 23 percent of law school grads think their education was worth the cost. That number seems high. [CNBC]
* Apparently, judges can't use their office to trade leniency for nude photos. You learn something new every day. [Courthouse News Service]
* Professor Epps patiently explains how bad Clarence Thomas is at basic constitutional law. [The Atlantic]
* Ogletree slapped with a sexual harassment suit on the heels of a big gender discrimination suit. Somebody over there really needs to learn labor law. [The Recorder]
* Just as a recap: Protecting minority voting rights -- not a priority for the DOJ. Challenging a settlement to give people $2 wine coupons -- absolutely a priority for the DOJ. [National Law Journal]
* Summer programs are shrinking again, so go ahead and start panicking. [American Lawyer]
* Boies is leading a coalition challenging the "winner-take-all" electoral system -- but not the Electoral College itself -- as an affront to "one person, one vote." Because when I think about improving fairness, it's turning over the task of choosing Electors to gerrymandered maps. [Bloomberg]
* School superintendent about to get a crash course on basic constitutional law. [Washington Post]
