* Federal judges with lifetime appointments: They're just like recent law school graduates! The Senate Judiciary Committee just confirmed Brett J. Talley to the Middle District of Alabama, despite the fact that he's got less than years of experience, has never argued a motion, and was declared "not qualified" by the ABA. Awesome. [The Hill] * Calling all defenders of Roy Moore: "If You Refuse to Condemn Predators because of Politics, You’re Disgusting." [National Review] * Thanks to all of the recent sexual assault accusations that have been lodged against men in the entertainment industry, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office has set up a task force to deal with these star-studded Hollywood cases. [Jezebel] * News that the law school cartel in the United States is in crisis has finally made its way across the pond. Should solicitors and barristers care? [Legal Cheek] * Dozens of DACA recipients have had their renewal applications rejected due to mail delays, and they have no right to appeal. This is awful. [New York Times]
