Morning Docket: 11.12.15

* Supreme Court hears argument about chicks and removing clothes for money, and it's a lot less interesting than that sounds. [Law360] * Congratulations to Cristina Carvalho, the next managing partner of Arent Fox. [National Law Journal] * Federal government pushes "poor people aren't real people" mantra a tad further: proposes rule banning smoking in your own home if you live in public housing. [New York Times] * The next time you think we have a do-nothing Congress, note that they've just passed a law to divvy up asteroids for mining! They're really hard at work on the pressing issues of today. [KING5] * Chief counsel for the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board pulled out of the investigation into Justice Michael Eakin's troubling emails after someone pointed out that he played a lead role in the justice's 2011 re-election campaign. Wha? How did anyone think this was OK? I repeat: What the hell is wrong with Pennsylvania’s justice system? [York Daily Record] * Checking in on Braeden Anderson, the Seton Hall basketball player balancing an NCAA season with his 1L year. [The Setonian] * "Facebook Sees 23% Spike In Law Enforcement Requests For Data." JackBootThug37 Likes This. [TechCrunch] * Ted Cruz says there should be 700 miles of double fencing along the border. I'd welcome anything to keep dirty Canadians from coming down and running for president. [Real Clear Politics]
