Non-Sequiturs: 09.04.12
* Happy Blogiversary to... us. Above the Law turned six years old last week. In blog years, that's like 100. I think we should put that on the masthead: Above the Law, Established circa 1912. In any event, thanks to all of our loyal readers who have been here from the beginning. Click on the link to take a look at how it all began. [Above the Law] * Family claims they were kicked off a flight because the airline didn't want their Down syndrome child sitting in first class. If they win I think there are going to be able to afford a lot of first class flights in their future. [The Consumerist] * Obama is going to have more judicial vacancies after his first term than he inherited from Bush. Part of the problem is that conservatives know how important the courts are and move to obstruct the President at every opportunity. Part of the problem is that progressives don't seem to understand how important this issue is. [Boston Review] * I hope many of you spent your Labor Day not feeling bad about having no paid labor. [The Onion] * I do not rule out the possibility that the who pretend to be concerned that affirmative-action "hurts" minorities are the biggest goddamn hypocrites on the face of the Earth. [Accuracy in Academia] * Don't get me wrong, affirmative-action is so going down this upcoming term. There might be suitable alternatives in its place. I'm just finding it funny how some people are so outraged by this one program that allows colleges to "consider" race while developing their class. I can't imagine how people would react if there was an inherent racial preference in American society for four hundred years. [SCOTUSblog]

The Lament of a Thirty-Something
It occurs to Elie Mystal that, once again, he's in much better shape for this new phase of consequences -- getting older -- than he would be if he were still at a Biglaw firm. Because while Mystal needs to refine and hone his skills in his mid and late thirties, associates at top law firms need to gun it. They need to take their suddenly aging bodies and turn every morsel of ATP into billable hours if they want to make partner. And they need to do it now.... -
