Non Sequiturs: 01.27.19
* Regarding the nomination of Patrick Bumatay to the Ninth Circuit, “Why are Democrats fighting the judicial nomination of a qualified gay minority?” Good question! [The Federalist]
* Speaking of highly qualified minority nominees under attack, Carrie Severino argues that it’s the critics of D.C. Circuit nominee Neomi Rao, not Rao herself, who are being inflammatory. [Bench Memos / National Review]
* And KC Johnson, reviewing the collegiate writings by Rao that have generated the attacks against her, argues that Rao’s views on campus sexual assault — from 25 years ago, so who knows whether or not she still holds them — are “align[ed] both with statute and today’s mainstream opinion.” [City Journal]
* Litigation over a watchdog commission for handling complaints of prosecutorial misconduct in New York State involves a lot of legal luminaries, including Jim Walden and Jacob Gardener of Walden Macht, Jim McGuire and Daniel Sullivan of Holwell Shuster & Goldberg, and Andrew Rossman, Kathleen Sullivan, and Alex Spiro of Quinn Emanuel. [New York Law Journal]
* Could Nick Sandmann and the Covington boys file libel lawsuits over some of the commentary on their controversy? It could be an uphill climb, according to Eugene Volokh (a First Amendment expert, and hardly anyone’s idea of a leftist). [Reason / Volokh Conspiracy]
* But if Covington cases do get filed, they could give rise to some interesting issues of civil procedure, as Howard Wasserman notes. [PrawfsBlawg]
* Many lessons can be learned from the Fyre Festival debacle — and one of the legal ones is that FTC disclosures actually matter. [All Rights Reserved]
* If you’re a liberal or progressive appellate litigator interested in taking on the Trump Administration, check out this new job posting from the good folks at the CAC. [Constitutional Accountability Center]

* A judge who drank alcohol “on court premises” now has a lot of free time to drink in comfort elsewhere. [Legal Cheek]
* A fascinating research paper on how the media is leading everyone astray by portraying the Islamic State as lawless — their key to holding land is based in large part on their imposition of legal institutions. [Brookings Institute]
* Quinn Emanuel’s Susan Estrich is representing Roger Ailes. Am I alone in hoping she manages this case like she managed the Dukakis campaign? [Observer]
* The DNC Wikileaks fallout hits a law firm. Marc Elias of Perkins Coie is on record urging DNC officials to accuse Bernie Sanders of lying. I’m sure Perkins Coie will respond that he was just being “nuanced.” [Am Law Daily]

* Prosecutors clinging to their own deluded sense of justice seek same prison term at resentencing — even after some vacated convictions. [Sentencing Law and Policy]
* More analysis of the Justice Ginsburg comments on Donald Trump. In all the hubbub over free speech and judicial ethics, it seems to me that we give judges lifetime tenure specifically so they can voice whatever goddamned opinions they want without fear of reprisal. [The Faculty Lounge]
