Non-Sequiturs

Non-Sequiturs: 11.17.17

* The Federalist Society is proposing a court-packing scheme because that's what the Founders would have, you know, never wanted. [Think Progress] * A deep dive into Justice Kennedy's likely role in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. [Empirical SCOTUS] * New York may not be having a constitutional convention, but that's not going to stop the state's chief judge from reforming its "byzantine" court system. [New York Law Journal] * Frugal or a failure to launch? You be the judge. [Corporette] * One of the finest sentences of the week: "a free-speech advisory group at Ohio University 'discussed the critical importance of transparency' — and then unanimously voted to close its meetings to the public." [Chronicle of Higher Ed] * There really is nothing like Above the Law out there. [Law and More] * Savoring the small moments that bring joy to a lawyer. We all need to find what keeps us happy and grounded. For me, it's Trent Garmon's writing. [Joy in the Law]
