Morning Docket: 09.06.17

* Let the DACA lawsuits begin! [New York Law Journal] * But don't forget about the transgender ban -- we've got a new lawsuit over that too, courtesy of Latham & Watkins. [The Recorder] * New York AG Office secures up to 7-year sentence in Operation Vandelay Industries, which was exactly what you'd think it is. [Law360] * Richard Spencer is trying to speak at the University of Florida now as part of the ongoing real assault on campus free speech -- the deliberate efforts by Spencer and others to whip up enough protest so they can then agitate for schools to install roadblocks against organized dissent. And lawyers remain the easiest marks in the world for this con. [Corporate Counsel] * Former CIA Director John Brennan is joining Fordham Law School's Center on National Security. [Seattle Times] * A profile of Edward Hanover, FIFA's first-ever compliance officer. So all that stuff about countries buying votes and using slave labor is a thing of the past! Or, will be by 2022 anyway. [Law.com] * The Boston Red Sox have filmed a powerful ad for the Apple iWatch. [NY Times]

* IBM says Watson's about to take away your job, which is an announcement IBM makes roughly every three months because they're taunting us. [Corporate Counsel] * Betty Shelby acquitted in the killing of a black motorist because apparently it's always reasonable to believe a random black guy is going to pull a gun. [NBC News] * Former client seeks $1.4 million back that it spent trying to disqualify BakerHostetler. [Law360] * Latham's Alice Fisher has pulled out of the FBI Director sweepstakes. All eyes are on Joe Lieberman right now, but folks G. Gordon Liddy is just sitting there raring to go. [National Law Journal] * And apparently Sheriff Clarke (who I'm sure was Trump's personal pick) is taking a Homeland Security job so he can focus on harassing the poor and disadvantaged without having to bother all those nice bankers. [New York Times] * Judge Charles Breyer took a break from writing the best benchslaps of all time to issue a groundbreaking video game ruling citing Star Wars and Love Actually -- two movies that should never, ever be mentioned in the same sentence. [Hollywood Reporter] * Stupid fan lawsuit against Warriors center ZaZa Pachulia moves on. [KENS5] * More horrific allegations from Ken Starr's world-class leadership at Baylor. [Huffington Post]
