    Morning Docket: 05.16.19

    * Alabama’s new abortion law takes aim at a Supreme Court that just all but junked stare decisis. How’s that “no drama” Court looking, Mr. Chief Justice? [NPR]

    * Law firms are in the midst of a decent financial run, so obviously they’ve stopped innovating because self-relection is for losers. [American Lawyer]

    * John Dowd has registered as a lobbyist eschewing the customary diplomatic game of pretending not to be a lobbyist for a couple years after leaving the service of the president. [National Law Journal]

    * Trump pardoned Conrad Black, a fraudster who has taken to calling the Mueller probe a sham… which appears to be a criminal’s ticket to exoneration these days. [Law360]

    * SEC enforcement actions are reaching a fever pitch and they’re making sure they stay out of court. [Corporate Counsel]

    * “I considered crashing my car just to take a week off….” [Legal Cheek]

  • Gay, Monica Lewinsky, Non-Sequiturs, Politics, Religion

    Non-Sequiturs: 04.03.13

    * Monica Lewinsky’s lawyer is checking out the big stained dress in the sky. William Ginsburg, RIP. [CNN] * Hoo boy, North Carolina is trying to opt out of the Constitution. As the article notes, they tried this in the 1860s and it didn’t work out so well. [Lowering the Bar] * New York state government gets another black eye with a couple of arrests for bribery. [Gothamist] * Judge Richard Cebull is retiring to spend more time on his racist rants. [Billings Gazette] * Obama is forfeiting $20,000 in solidarity with sequester victims. An excellent opportunity for right-wing hacks to complain about his vacations, as though Secret Service protection is supposed to be free. [Washington Examiner] * Ken Cuccinelli is running for governor in a state that voted for Obama twice. So, obviously, he’s making a public show of his fight to reinstate a law used to harass gay people. [Washington Blade] * Conrad Black, the media mogul who served three years in the federal pen, sits for an interview with California Lawyer magazine. Check it out (and earn California CLE credit).
