Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 09.10.18
* Fun fact of the day: According to David Brock, a onetime member of “Kavanaugh’s cabal,” the D.C. Circuit judge has an “unhealthy obsession with the Clintons — especially Hillary.” He urges senators to vote no on Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. [NBC News]
* After repeatedly denying that he had an affair with Stormy Daniels, President Donald Trump now says he he “will not bring any action, proceeding, or claim” against her for speaking out despite her nondisclosure agreement. All she has to do is give back the $130,000 hush-money payment she received from Michael Cohen. [Washington Post]
* The Democratic Coalition has lodged a perjury complaint against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh with the Justicec Department, and will soon file an ethics complaint with the D.C. Circuit. Oh, the irony that the grievance will be reviewed by SCOTUS nominee in waiting, Chief Judge Merrick Garland. [Mediaite
* President Trump will provide sworn answers to written questions in the defamation suit filed by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos. Considering Marc Kasowitz thinks his client is “immune” from this suit, things could get interesting. [Reuters]
* The U.S. legal sector has lost jobs for the second month in a row, and legal employment is now slightly down year-over-year. Hopefully these job numbers rebound, because law schools have started accepting record class sizes again. [American Lawyer]

* Speaking of SCOTUS, when it comes to its recent ruling in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Andrew Siegel is not impressed. [PrawfsBlawg]
* Ilya Somin offers praise for legislation being co-sponsored by Senator Elizabeth Warren — but it will make sense to you once you see the subject matter (hint: her co-sponsor is Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado). [Volokh Conspiracy / Reason]
* Charles Glasser has no problem with people calling out or criticizing speech that they find offensive, but he argues — rightly so, in my view — that we’ve lost “a sense of proportion, a rational relationship between the speaker, their comments, and their role in society.” [Daily Caller]
* Ann Althouse’s take on Bill Clinton’s controversial #MeToo comments. [Althouse]
* Greg Lambert is absolutely right: “Sometimes the change you seek causes problems you didn’t foresee.” [3 Geeks and a Law Blog]
* Smart-contract checker Sagewise hooks up with Hedera Hashgraph, a “blazing fast” alternative to blockchain. [Artificial Lawyer]

* Littler acquires UK firm, marking their third European deal in the last year and a half. That’s very interesting. Or should I say, “that’s vereinteresting.” No? OK, that’s very interesting. [Am Law Daily]
* Miami firms shepherd the $60 million sale of “Jungle Island.” So when the Velociraptors start rampaging through South Beach, don’t say we didn’t warn you. [Daily Business Review]
* Five hypotheticals posed by the Fourth Circuit in its travel ban hearing. Spoiler: some of them are incredibly stupid. [Law.com]
* Bill Clinton is writing a thriller with James Patterson entitled “The President Is Missing.” In the end they find the president campaigning in the Rust Belt which is where no Democrat bothered to look. [Huffington Post]
* Dentons partner launches campaign for lieutenant governor in California. [The Recorder]
* Meanwhile, Morgan Lewis partner David I. Miller is in the running for the SDNY U.S. Attorney gig which would put him in charge of looking the other way in most cases of financial crime. [Law360]
* Judge holds company publicly accountable in waterslide decapitation. But the real story here is, as always, just how terrible Kansas is. [Litigation Daily]
* How Michigan uses the law to trap people in poverty. [Jalopnik]
