Morning Docket: 05.16.17

* Was your firm disabled by a cyberattack? Probably not if you're still reading this. [Am Law Daily]

* All these "classified intelligence" headlines miss the point. It's not like Trump told them the nuclear codes or anything -- he warned them about a possible terror plot. The problem is that haphazard handling of secrets could mess up future intelligence gathering and put sources at risk. And, of course, that Trump's going to address a burgeoning national security scandal on Twitter. [Courthouse News Service]

* If you think movie theaters are a racket, well, the Department of Justice thinks that's worth looking into. [Law.com]

* Dean Erwin Chemerinsky explains why firing James Comey didn't spark a constitutional crisis -- but that's about the only good thing he has to say about the administration. [Newsweek]

* German law enforcement's search of local Jones Day offices was legal. VW plans to turbocharge an appeal. [Reuters]

* This may come as a shock, but Arizona Summit Law School isn't doing well. [Arizona Central]

* Conan has to go to trial on joke theft allegations. [New York Times]

* What to know about the Supreme Court's latest arbitration decision. Besides "y'all are screwed," of course. [Law360]

* On the one hand, Trump men seem to have an unhealthy relationship with their daughters. On the other hand, celebrating your daughter's sexuality is a thing that's kind of progressive. [BBC]

* Neil Gorsuch will likely recuse himself from this burping case if it comes to the Supreme Court. Which is too bad, because his 10th Circuit dissent in the underlying case seems exactly right. [NPR]

* It's always fun when Uber loses in court. [Forbes]

* The ACLU is going to fight Donald Trump every day. [ACLU]

* I have an opinion on masturbation as speech... I'm just going to keep it to myself. [Popehat]

* All those U.S. Senators who confirmed Jeff Sessions should be forced to answer for his actions now. [The Root]

* "Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador" -- Headline, Washington Post. I mean, of course he did. Nobody is surprised. Nobody will stop him. [Washington Post]
